Venus at inferior conjunction with sun - in storm conditions!

Uploaded by nytecam on Mar 25, 2009
Venus passes from an Evening Star to a Morning Star about now at 'inferior conjunction' eg between earth and sun but passes 9 degrees above the sun as a very thin crescent. A special mask made to cover the telescope to 1] safely view the sun and 2] a clear 10cm aperture [shaded from sunlight] to view and record Venus via a camera at the eyepiece. In mid session storm conditions [rain/ hail/ high winds] and got soaked but scope safe under a plastic sheet!

Very impressive. Wouldn't mind having that scope in my back yard!
Venus is pretty jittery in the images, is that all atmospheric turbulence or was the scope being bounced by the wind a bit?
