News Equipment Observatory Astrophotography Projects About me

June 8, 2004, Venus, Earth and the Sun aligned. From Earth, one could see Venus cross the solar disc. This is a very rare event. I was lucky to be able to watch and photograph this event using my Meade ETX105 Mak telescope and whitelight filter.
This image shows "contact II" where the silhouet of Venus is completely inside the solar disc.
