600mm+1.4x+2x_Venus Transit

Aperture closed down one stop to yield 1680mm at f16. That's a ridiculous 29 lens elements yet they still seem to yield a sharp print. Baader Solar Film (Photo Density). Wobbly shape of Venus is caused by atmospheric seeing (shimmering), changes from instant to instant.

Canon EOS 1Ds
1/2500s f/16.0 at 1680.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
