Like Stephen said - WOW..

Some day you should do a time lapse sequence, like at 1 or 5 minute intervals Alan..

It's supposed to rain for the next week here.

Hi all,

I arrived at Mount Wilson the day before the transit of Venus. I had enough time to get everything unpacked and set up for a test run and shot two streams of video to make sure the computer and cameras were all happy and talking to each other. I forgot about these files in the excitement of June 5th. Looking back through the files while archiving the 200 gigabytes of data from my trip, the conditions on June 4th were much better than the following day… in fact, it is some of the best solar seeing I've experienced in some time. Apologies in advance for the large images, but I couldn't bear to reduce them:

and for those who prefer a non-inverted look at the solar chromosphere:

These images are not mosaics. They show the full size field of view of the Grasshopper Express 6 megapixel chip used with the f 4.8 Stowaway and Televue 2X powermate.

Hope you enjoy them!
