This was an experiment to see if Venus could be photographed during the
day. This was taken about 4pm in full sunlight (although no sunlight
actually falling on the 'scope).
8" LX200 F6.3 focal reducer, IR filter, Toucam webcam at prime focus.
30 seconds at 10fps, 1/500sec, aligned and stacked in K3CCD using planet
wizard, deconvolution (maxent 1.1 x 20) in Astroart.

One of my earlier attempts with Venus. 8" LX200, F20 using x2 Barlow,
Toucam-pro at prime focus. 900 frames at 10 fps, 1/250th. All frames
aligned, stacked and wavelet filtered using Registax2. Contrast/histogram adjusted
in PSP.
Probably overexposed! |

Transit of Venus 8/6/2004
|
|
|
 |
Transit of Venus captured just at the moment of "3rd
Contact". 8" LX200, F6.3 focal reducer, solar filter (unknown make),
Toucam-Pro webcam.
Various video sequences were captured during the transit
at 10fps, 1/500th. This images was formed by visually inspecting a video sequence and
selecting 5 good frames around the moment of 3rd contact. These frames then
aligned, stacked and wavelet filtered in Registax.
