The transit is over. Watch our top Venus transit page. We will update the gallery and try to produce a movie during the afternoon.

The Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope is mounted in alt-az, which causes the image to rotate with respect to the cameras. We are not compensating for this during the transit webcast, so you may notice a difference in orientation if you compare to images from other sites. Different numbers of mirrors in front of the different cameras, will also affect the image orientation.
