Transit_of_Venus.jpgOf course. This was actually very cool.
I made a solar filter out of a thermal blanket (2 layers, to be exact) and stretched it over the hood of my zoom lens. I didn't expect it to work that well, so that I could even see sunspots. But I took several pictures and stacked them together (left image). Another one shortly after first contact (below).
