Hubble is so tiny.

Backyard prime focus image of the transit of Venus 6/5/2012.

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.
