Topic: Venus' transit of the sun.

Light overcast here this morning but a short break in it allowed some opportunities.




It's still happening at the time of this post and I'm hoping the cloud cover will clear before it ends.

Beautiful images, Dan! Keep 'em coming.

Out local ABC affiliate was streaming live from a Lake Erie beach, and I captured a few screen images as the sun was setting just a couple of minutes ago, and posted them on the Avon-Weather Facebook page. Spectacular! I can't wait to see the next one.

Got another glimpse between clouds and figure may be the last chance.

Great work, Dan!  Thanks!

 Thanks Steve and Greg. I was sweating it with all the clouds around and after 6 months of preparing for this very morning. My 85 year old F-I-L was smiling ear to ear when I showed him. I printed out some photo prints of it for him to show his friends that he meets up with in the mornings.

Dan,

Nice pictures.  We had no opportunity to see the transit here in Massachusetts, so I appreciate the pictures.

I watched it on NASA TV. Pretty cool.

Shot a whole series of pics through my Meade 8 (vintage telescope) using my Minolta XG-M 35mm (vintage camera) on 400 and 800 speed film (old school)...sorry that what the student techs said about my stuff. I will post when the morning quiets down.
