I was fortunate enough to have one of my Transit of Venus images displayed on the Sky at Night, during their ToV special.

This is the image they used, 3rd contact:

Very nice image. Good capture of the black drop effect.

Well done and congrats. Watched the show last night, always on the lookout for images by fellow SGLers

Very well done , nice image too. I missed it here by 5 minutes, a place where the sun always seems to shine let me down. It was the same story in 2004 when it was raining.

Congratulation on getting your image selected - it's a pretty good one at that!

WOW - that's actually a really really good image. What did you use to capture it? It looks like a while light image, am I right?

As for me, clouded out when I awoke so I went back to bed. I'll try again next time

I used my 1100D, Sigma 70-300 f/4, 2x teleconverter (using 400mm focal length), Baader Safety Solar Film, angle finder, remote shutter release and tripod (I went prepared), taken from aboard the rig Nan Hai Tiao Zhan, South China Sea (as mentioned in the narrative). I was fortunate enough to see both the 2004 and 2012 transits in entirety, although in 2004 all I had was a welders screen and a pair of binoculars with which to project an image.

The above image is a really tightly cropped jpg. processed with ACDSee.
