Kristina,
In New York the transit was in progress at sunrise. Sunrise was at about 5:28 AM, but it took about half an hour before I could see the sun due to a cloud layer. We less than 2 hours of transit time.

Otto,
There were two small sunspots, visible near the center of the sun's disc, but due to the sun being low and to some clouds, my photo was underexposed, hence the "grainy" appearence of the image. After the transit was over I saw them when I replaced the camera with an eyepiece.

AMAZING!! I'm really impressed, it is so cool! What an interesting capture of Venus!
Was this in the end of the happening, or how did it go viewing from USA? Here in Sweden it started around 7:20 AM on left side of sun (same high as on this photo) and it was "walking" straight horisontal for about 6 h.

I waited all this time to see this and it turns out that the west completely missed out on this. Thanks for sharing. I'm amazed at the lack of sun spots on this shot also.

Eric,
The Hasselblad was using a 500mm lens, barely enough to get any detail. Also, the sun was much lower in the sky... many of my Minolta shots early on were just as bad... they just filled more of the film. The Hassy image represents less than one twentyfifth of the area of the film. Also, slide film has less exposure latitude, which is what I used in the Hassy.
The Minolta was attached to a 1900mm focal length telescope. the image of the sun almost filled the width of the negative. This image was taken half an hour after the Hassy photo with the sun higher in the sky and out of the cloud layer (mostly).

How comes that this Minolta one is so better than the Hassalbald's one, the latter one is considered better camera? Any explanation? Any way, congratule that you capture this good universal moment. --Eric
