Venus Transit 20120605


Image of beginnings of Venus Transit taken 2 minutes after first contact.  Image was taken from my front yard with a Cannon D1000 DLSR mounted on an Orion 120mm f8.3 scope.  The camera was operated in auto mode.  Click on the photo for a larger image.  Venus can be seen in the upper right hand edge of the photo just entering in fron of the sun.  Serval sun spots are also visible.
