Last chance to see transit of Venus not lost

QUT radiological technician Kaz Hosokawa was determined to catch the last transit of Venus for 105 years so he taped solar eclipse lense to an ordinary digital camera and joined hundreds of Venus viewers and four telescopes on QUT's Gardens Point Campus last week.

With his camera on a tripod, Kaz took more than 1000 still images over the six-hour transit to create these few seconds of "time-lapse" video showing the passing of planet Venus between the earth and the sun.
