Venus Transit (2nd Submission)

Venus Transit (2nd Submission)

I hope this does not violate any Photo.Net rules. This is the second

time I have submitted this image for critique. Since there is so

little in the way of astrophotography submitted to this site, I

thought I might submit, or resubmit this image which I first posted

over a year ago. Just trying to get some fresh feedback on this image

and to stimulate some discussion on this subject. I trust no one is

offended by this. Thanks. Venus Transit I This comment referers to

several images I am posting for review today: This image was recorded

on film utilizing a home made solar filter (mylar material if the

image is coloured or baedar "foil like film also refered to as a

white filter" if the image is white). I used a 1200 mm f11 Bausch and

Lomb Smcmidt-Cassergrin reflector, with or without a manual 2X TC,

employing prime focus, which is the lens conected directly to the

camera; no telescopic eyepiece employed. The exposure date is

incorrect. Camera Canon EOS Elan 7E Film / Media Fuji Velvia RVP50

Filter or Filters Homemade Mylar Solar Filter, Rokunar 2.0 manual

teleconverter. Technical Details: exposure unrecorded,auto

bracketing.

I think noone in photo.net have ever tried this, thats why the ratings are not proper! I have some venus transit photos too. I tried shoot with homemade filters too but none of my shots were good. I think you should post this in Astrophotography related groups in flickr.com, they are lots of great astrophotographers there. good luck

Thanks
