Venus at Sunset - 02/16/2009 Posted by: Stephen - 2009-02-16 18:58:41 Permalink

Just finished cleaning the sensor on my Nikon D40 so I thought Venus might make a good target for testing if all dust particles were removed. The images turned out rather nice, but the true test will be ewhen I capture the ISS in front of the sun on the 18th. Laughing

Venus and ISS in Pisces Animated Posted by: Stephen - 2009-02-07 15:54:10 Permalink

Check out this wonderful capture of the ISS by Twitter Micro-blogger and Amateur Astronomer TaviGreiner. The image shows the ISS captured from coastal NC as it passed just under Venus on the 5th of this month. She's put a great deal of time into mapping out the constellations and star names captured in the image as well, which is a real treat to view.



The full image gives the best view.
