Third Contact Beckons at Sunrise: Despite obscuring the moment of third contact, the clouds as well as the bird make this a nice image. No solar filter was necessary. This is a cropped 6MP 1/800th f/10 Digital Rebel image using a Tamron 28-300mm XR LD telephoto from 6:10 am CDT. |

Because of the clouds, we only manage to view the transit while in progress. The images were taken with 8 inch SCT with Thousand Oak solar filter. Canon 300D camera was used with exposure of 1/200 sec at 200ASA. |
