오늘이 금성 태양면통과일인데, 날이 좋질 않네요. 오후에는 비까지 온다니 ^^
그래도 이것저것 촬영할거 싸들고 회사에 출근했습니다.
여차해서 날이 좋아지면 옥외 주차장에서 찍어 볼까 하구요.
아래 사진은 6월 2일에 찍었다는 외국 아마추어의 금성 사진입니다.

Subject: New Image Venus June 5th
This is a web cam but I thought you may enjoy this.
I have been viewing Venus during the past view days 3 hours after
sunrise. What I wanted to do was capture Venus as close to the sun
as possible without loosing it. Today was that day. It took a
while to even see the planet but after viewing it through the
eyepiece for a short time, I finally saw it. It was barely visible
and I was not even sure if the web cam would pick it up. Because of
the angle the ecliptic is at and the clear air we have now in
Southern Arizona, viewing this close to the sun can be possible.
How close was I to the sun, well sunlight was just hitting the very
corner of the corrector plate in front of the telescope. So this is
where I will stop. All images were taken in Tucson, AZ using the
MakNewt 86. The web cam was set at 1/10000 second at low gain.
The recording was 300 seconds and I used 800 frames aligned and
stacked using Registax. I did some image processing mainly to get a
bit more blue in the sky. Nothing was done with Venus. When you
look at the June 5th image, it appears that there is a complete
circle. After seeing 3 total solar eclipses, I would guess to say
this is an optical illusion since there is no eclipse. It goes
without saying this is the thinnest phase I have seen on Venus myself.
Below are some links to the images I did and a movie.
