A relatively rare event, I obtained this image of the transit of Venus across the Sun's face, taken 6/5/2012 when Venus was near maximum transit. The next Venus Transit will be 105.5 years later or on December 10/11/2117. Few alive today will ever see it again.
This was obtained with 10" Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. using Baader solar filters.
Puts everything in perspective, as Venus is close to the size of Earth, and it's just a round dot, still many millions of miles from the sun surface. One can imagine how small Venus would appear in this image if it could somehow be placed just a few thousands miles from the Sun's surface.
I remember taking video of that event. I have a 14 1/2 inch F 5.5 Newtonian though for that video I was only using the telescope as a drive. I used the finder scope as a projector into large cardboard box that I mounted on the telescope tube and projected an image inside. I placed a video camera inside the box to record the projection.
