Home / Astrophotography / Venus Transit
The Venus Transit was observed from Setubal with my friend Paulo Coelho. I used a Hi8 Video camera for full disk views and a 8'' Dobsonian for image projection. Time was set using a shortware broadcast (9996 kHz) from IMVP- Institute of Metrology for Time and Space - Mendelevo, Russia.
