Thank you for sharing your image of the transit through the fog. From all the images posted it was certainly impressive.

Venus From Cloudy New Orleans

Tom,

Thank you for posting your excellent image of the transit. I think that the Sun is fiery orange because it ate some Jumbalaya!

Transit from NJ

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Brian,

Thank you for posting your excellent close-up of the transit at third contact. I believe that a mild "black-drop" effect is noted in your image.

Sol,

An excellent image of the transit from Jersey. I was clouded out down here in South Florida.

Venus atmosphere

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Russ,

Thank you for sharing your outstanding images of the transit of Venus. You have captured third contact perfectly as well as the Venusian aureole (atmosphere). I am glad that you and Gus had a fun observation of the transit.

By the way this extensive atmosphere was first discovered by the famous Russian astronomer Losmonov in 1761 during the transit occuring in that year. An excellent article on Venus can be found at http://carnap.umd.edu/phil250/venus_alive_pdf/Chapter2/CH2-0.pdf

Thank you for posting your beautiful image of the comet (Neat Q4) and the Beehive cluster (M44). I saw much of the same at the time ( http://www.astromart.com/forums/viewpost.asp?forum_post_id=213194&poll_id=&news_id=&page=9 )

Venus transit report.

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Russ,

Thank you for your excellent report on the Transit of Venus that occurred on June 8th. I am glad that you and your friend Gus were able to observe and image it. The images of the Venusian aureole (atmosphere) are excellent. Your web site has many good images on it as well. The best of luck.

Jupiter sketch,6-15

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Thomas,

Thank you for posting your observation of Jupiter. You have recorded much detail in your observation. I too have noted the "knotty" nature of the STB (due to dark condensations), the bright rift within the SEB, and the prominent festoons along the NEB-S. I look forward to your future observations.

Mihail,

Thank you for posting your excellent image of Jupiter. You have recorded much detail across the jovian disk. The Great Red Spot (GRS) region and the blue festoons along the southern border of the North Equatorial Belt (NEB-S) are prominent in your image. You have made Dmitri Maksutov (the designer of the meniscus cassegrain telescope in 1941) proud with this image. I look forward to more of your images in the future. Please consider posting them in the Solar System Observing forum as well.
