Not quite Hubble quality....
This was a JPEG image, as I continue to process the RAW data images taken, which will have considerably better resolution/detail.
Venus is considered our sister planet as it's close to us and nearly the same size. The planet if put onto our stars surface, could easily fit into most of the sunspots seen near the middle of the image.
Obtained at prime focus, with a 10" SCT, 6.3 focal reducer with a Canon 40D.
Looks good. I had my weekly golf league match, with a tee time coinciding pretty closely to the onset of the transit. I used 7X35 binoculars for eyepiece projection onto the scorecard pad of my hand pulled golf cart. I could see Venus quite distinctly, but no sun spots. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the lack of interest by my fellow golfers, although several of them did take a look. The way of the Golfstronomer is hard.
Weather here was cloudy all Tuesday with a few brief moments of sunshine.The Sun peeked through a hole in the clouds fleetingly twice,just long enough that I could get a look around the time of second contact and a half-hour later.Neither look lasted a full minute.Didn’t get any pictures.Used 90mm telescope with solar filter.
But I can honestly say I DID see it!
