On the very early morning of June 8th, 2004, the sun rose with Venus almost completing a very rare event ... a transit across the disk of the sun. Just as the sun was rising, it was visible to the naked eye. This image was taken through a 10" SC telescope with a solar filter using a Nikon D100 digital camera. If you missed it, another transit will occur in 2012. This only happens twice every 122 years.
