Transit Of Venus (In Ha) From Blackheath, London

[ixalon]

Quite a crowd turned up to Blackheath for Flamsteed AS's event. The sky above and to the west was clear (lovely view of the moon) but a large cloud bank obscured the sunrise. Thankfully the cloud thinned enough to grab a few clips of video.

Here are some raw frames. I'll get to work with Registax later (if I can stay awake this evening!)

Congratulations - well caught Clouds weren't playing ball here...

Thanks, the best bit was sharing the view with others who came to watch. I had the video feed from the camera up on my laptop screen for the duration and it was the only view that many got.

C4 news are doing a piece on the transit at around 7:40pm (subject to change!) - they may even be showing some of my pics. :-)

Beautiful images, well caught!

I just had clouds.

Fantastic shots, what a moment to remember and well captured

I got shots just like that, but w/o the sun. All clouds here. Nicely done.....

Thanks! Finally managed to coax out a decent stacked image:

The bit about the Blackheath event (and 2 of my pics) is at about 2:10 into the video

Quite a (long) day - time for some kip!
