The first images of the Venus transit are now in the Gallery Archive.

Congrats Fay - How did you get the images?

I don't think Fay's on the forum yet. She was using a small digital camera held up to the eyepiece of one or other of the telescopes we had in the field.

What type of solar filter was fitted - Was it Baader Solar Film - I couldn't get any hint of colour in my images?

Thks,  John

Both telescopes were using flat-glass filters.
