Imaging
and the Universe It is planned that the images here will be a showcase with individual astro-photographers having their own page. Also, you will find that many astro-photographers already have their own websites, and that when we showcase some of these images, we will supply a direct link to their websites so that you can explore these incredible images in more detail.

Rob
Slack - Exploring the Solar System Various images of Saturn, Venus, Solar eclipse in August 2008 and most recently some images taken of the Moon. A number of images of Saturn were taken over the last 3 years and it is interesting to see the rings closing up. Included in Rob's images are two of the eclipse which took place on the 1st of August 2008. It was only partial from the UK. Venus is also included and was taken a couple of years ago, but reflects exactly as it has been seen more recently in Swindon. And then there is an amazing image of the crater Copernicus, and its smaller companion Reinhold, imaged June 2009. |

Sylvia
Pilot - The Transit of Venus 2004 Sylvia Pilot, a keen member of Swindon Stargazers since its inception, took this fantastic picture of the transit of Venus back in 2004. On the 8th of June, between 5.19 UT (6.19 BST) and 11.23 UT (12.23 BST), Venus passed between the Sun and the Earth. The last time this happened was on 6th December 1882. The duration of such transits is usually measured in hours (the transit of 2004 lasted six hours) |
