Processing: Image acquisition with Canon EOS Utility. Sharpen, crop, resize, coloration, collage presentation and JPG compression in Photoshop. Images were taken once every minute for the duration of the transit. The composite above reresents Venus's position every 40 minutes from the start of the transit until the sun got too low to get any further decent images (until the Sun was only a few degrees above the horizon).
