London, supernova 2014J in M82 (Ursa Major) is the brightest and closest
supernova for 20 years. The image above was taken by AAS Member
David Richards 2.2 days after the discovery. The supernova is indicated by the
white markers.(Mag +10.9)
Venus Transit (2012-Jun-06)
These
are some photos of my Transit of Venus experience in Orkney. They aren't
stunning but the conditions were difficult with strong Easterly winds and
almost 95% cloud cover. Pictures include some of our equipment and viewing
position in a small gully near the Gloup, Mull Head to give us a bit of
shelter. In one of the shots of my cardboard Solarscope, you can see we've had
to weigh it down and surround it with stones to try and keep it from blowing
away - as improvised by Roddy!
The PST picture was an improvised hand-held shot just to see if it would turn out. So far I haven't been able to get my web-cam to work but in the conditions I'd have been wary of having a laptop set up. Some of the others show the 2 small strips of clear sky that we had and how the remaining clouds resulted in a beautiful sunrise even if that meant we didn't see any more of the transit. Karen Yuill.
