A new shot of Venus transiting the Sun.

ditto, thanks so much for posting. I was looking all over town for a pair of 14 shades with no luck... kicking myself for not ordering them online just didn't expect to ahve trouble finding them locally. Either way, looks like you had a telescope which i didn't have. Great pics and again thanks for sharing!

 

You're welcome. I used my camera actually with a 400mm focal length telephoto lens. I couldn't get a solar filter so I bought a Mylar emergency blanket and cut 2 pieces off and used them as a filter over the end of the lens hood.

 

I just ran across this video and thought of your thread. I hoped you wouldn't mind if I added.

Not a post like that, thanks for sharing.
