Transit of Venus, 8 June 2004

I took these from my front room between eating my breakfast and setting off for work. (Rather more civilised than normal astronomy!) The telescope was set up to project the sun onto a piece of card, and I photographed the results with an SLR. The setup is shown at the bottom of the page.

The first picture includes some clouds drifting past the sun.
