Venus transit in h-alpha

We were fortunate in southwestern Indiana to have mostly clear skies for the Venus Transit. The Evansville Astronomical Society had multiple telescopes set up for the public to view it. Several hundred people enjoyed the view. I had telescopes set up for visual observing and for phototography. This picture was taken with my Televue 102iis refractor, Coronado SM90 h-alpha filter, Imaging Source DMK41AU02.AS camera, and .5x reducer.
