Description

I used a high building to block the Sun, then used the small chance window of ~3 minutes to capture the Venus. It took me 3-4 tries, after each one I moved the telescope to sunlight and waited for the next shadow.

There were many dust particles in the sunlight, making automatic alignment unusable. So I had to manually align the frames (time-consuming), which limited the number of frames I can use.
