One More Venus Shot From Michigan

Just a quick shot with a broken Canon A560 and a 4.5" reflector telescope. Cloud cover made it a bit difficult for good shots but it was cool to see the transit anyway. We actually got to see both of them.

Nicely done ... though its upside down! I've been taking shots from sydney, clouds keep rolling in but I keep huffing and puffing to blow them away ... getting lots of shots, trying for a semi close up time lapse.

Good luck with the rest of the transit!

very nice, the upside down explains why in some shots Venus is near the top

Nice shot!

Very nice ! One thing i have noticed is how much better and clear images taken through a scope are . Just goes to prove you can take an image with a camera and lens only but a scope just can't be beat !

Another nice one....weather was crap here, couldn't get even a quick shot.

Hmm... Not sure why the shot is upside down. I've flipped it every which way possible on PBase and replaced the image twice. It's fine over there but upside down here and on another forum. Dunno...

But, this shot taken with a barely working P&S camera turned out 100% better than all my shots taken with the 40D and a 400mm lens. The shots with just a camera and lens combo show all the cloud cover we had.
