Venus transit, I'd thought I'd lost this one!!

120mm f5 refractor with an Olympus C2000Z held up to the eyepiece (32mm I think)

I thought this one had been lost in a HD failure a few years ago but I'd uploaded it to my Pipex web space for some reason. I'm in the process of trying to put a simple website together using Pipex and found this when I was checking out my account.

I'd worked all night the night before and if memory serves the transit started about 8am and finshed 12PM. I was so tired I was hullucenating by the time I crawled into bed.

I'm made up I found the picture, it's no classic but the transit was a once (well, twice) in a lifetime oppertunity.

I was working that day, and at the time of the transit, was driving to my next appointment, and the sky was :lol:,

About ten minutes after the event was over,the bleeping vanished

and i was able to bring out some interesting detail.

It's amazing what unsharp mask will bring out in an image....
