Venus Transit 6-8-04

In the morning of June 8, 2004 we in Ohio were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the last 90 minutes of the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun.

The animation is composed of 22 images taken with a digital camera using eyepiece projection.

The images were taken using the 8" LX200GPS telescope, with a Baader Solar Filter, and a 40 mm eyepiece.
