Venus - Crescent captured while planet on the Disk!
Dear Tom
I noted this effect when about 2/3 of venus had crossed infront of the solar disk. I could clearly make out a cresent completing the circle (sadly no photo of it though). -- Terry Bohlsen Moree, Australia "Tom Rankin" wrote in message ...

Thanks again! Marvelous shot! We were fighting clouds all morning.
We missed all 4 contacts.... :-( Jeroen Smaal wrote: They're also up on my website now: http://www.smaal.info/astro_en/index...trophoto#venus -- Tom Rankin - Programmer by day, amateur astronomer by night!
