Description

The transit of Venus of 6 June, 2012, around 10:30 AEST.
This was taken through an office window in Melbourne, Australia (i.e. during work hours).
A very high-tech image:
  • A small set of hand-held binoculars was used to project the image onto a piece of A4 printer paper.
  • The photo was taken hand-held with an iPhone 4.
  • A bit of tidying up in Photoshop

Even now, over a decade later, with all the latest gear for DSO and planets, this simple image is one of my proudest achievements.
