Venus Transit - June 5, 2012

June 5, 2012 - Venus Transit Day:


Boeing...

In the days approaching Transit Day, I scoped out different location that would have a clear view of the setting sun and access to a power outlet (for powering my mount). A small hill at our church’s side yard was the spot. I set up mid afternoon and was ready to shoot pictures about 45 minutes before it started. We saw an airplane flying straight for the sun and hoped it would cross… and it did!!! I was lucky enough to capture these three shots!!!



Going...



Gone!!!

 

...Here is my best shots of the real Transit, of Venus:

Just before sunset with Venus and another airplane!!!
