After Second Contact

This is a shot of the transit just after second contact.

All solar images in this gallery were taken with the following equipment: Celestron
C80ED Pentax DSLR, 1.4x teleconverter spaced to give a magnification factor of 1.6,
Baader Solar Filter and an ASGT mount. I also used a Canon TC-80N3 for automated camera
control. The effective focal length of the setup was 960mm at f12.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
