Venus transit

To most people this might be a rather boring photo, but anyone who knows what it is will appreciate it, apart from seeing aurora, this is probably the rarest astronomical even i have witnessed.

It's the transit of venus from 2004.

Me and a freind went to Toothill observatory where they were holding a public viewing event, i made a simple binocular projector, it worked!

It was nice that although there were telescopes with filters, some people did have a look at my projector!

For the photo, i simply put my lens up the eyepeice of a scope with a filter and took a series of photos, adusting the exposure time with each pic.

This was back in the days when i had to wait to see what the result was like when i got the film developed, this was the best one i got.
