This image is amazing because of the thinness of the Venus scythe. The thickness is only 0,6", exactly equal to the diffaction limit of my 20 cm telescope! Image realized from the best three frames from a Panasonic DS-15 digital camcorder at the indirect focus of the 20 cm SC f/10, used at full aperture and with a 40mm eyepiece + barlow 3x. Seeing II-III. Bigger image: 35 Kb. |

This image show the maximum extension of the scythe, thanks to a logaritmic elaboration that show the faintest part of the scythe, but it lose all the details. Sum of 20 images of 0,2s realized with a Hi-SIS33 CCD camera, 20cm SC telescope + 2x barlow (4000mm resulting focal). Bigger image: 32 Kb. |
