A couple of times every century or
two, the planet Venus passes in front of the Sun. Sir James Cook
sailed halfway around the world to see this, claiming Australia for
the crown in the process. Who was I not to set up the telescope just
in case the rain stopped and heavy clouds parted for a few minutes?
They did.
In terrestial photography, the key to a lot of good
photos is just being in the right place at the right time: "F8
and be there." Every
now and again, the universe makes
a gift of a good astophotograph, too. This one is a case of "1000mm
and be there."
