On the 8th June 2004 the world had the opportunity to watch the transit of Venus across the Suns disk. As there had been over 122 years since the last transit I decided that it was more than worthy of taking the day off to watch and record. With my Meade LX200GPS 10 inch telescope and a couple of video cameras I was able to observe the Venus transit.
Here is a shot of the front lawn with the telescope connected to a computer, along with the other video cameras. The telescope was pointed directly at the Sun as I had a solar filter attached. The video cameras only had welding glasses of shade 12.
