On a lark this week I decided I was going to attempt to take some pictures of 
the Transit of Venus...which is a big deal for me as I have always been 
strictly a visual observer. 
I have been playing with a new Canon DSLR camera for the past few days and 
posted a white light shot on my blog from this morning. I need to learn how to 
process images, but am pretty happy with the initial attempts...at least I will 
have the raw files and can deal with them as my processing skills increase. 
Here is the image from this morning:

Clear skies,
