Here are the results of my first (and last) Venus transit photos. I had a terrible time with equipment. None of my Canon cameras wanted to download an image. Finally, I used Images Plus and was able to capture Live View video of the event and then stack them. It seems, after some investigation, that the USB ports on my laptop do not supply power while it is one batteries. So the Canon’s could not download images without power. It would have been nice if I could control this “feature” and decide if I want the batteries to power the USB or not. Come on man! Anyway, the color isn’t the best, but I need to calibrate my monitor to get better color and I have not had a chance to do that yet. Hopefully this weekend will give me the time to work on the images more. You can view, or download the full size images here.
