Transit of Venus
 

Don't forget to check out the Transit of Venus across the Sun in about 10 hours.
Observers on the US East Coast will be in "mid transit" at sunrise and will have
about 2 hours of viewing. (The West Coast loses out this time!)

As with an eclipse, don't look directly at the Sun; I'm going to try projecting
the image with binoculars.

Give it a shot, it doesn't happen often. In fact, its only been observed 5
times before, last time was 1882. The next one is in 2012, but after that we
wait over 100 years.

The old pinhole in the shoebox would probably work, too.

I woke up early and located a high place to view from. It was a little
hazy, but the haze acted like a filter and I could actually see the sun
without an additional filter.

I had my digital camera along and snapped a couple of pictures, turned out
pretty cool, but a bit on the blurry side. I tried the pinhole camera idea a
little later on when the sun was higher in the sky, but the image was too
small to see anything.

http://www.venture-1.com/~billf/ToV-002.jpg shows a blurry Venus in the
lower right corner, but I'm trying to figure out what got into
http://www.venture-1.com/~billf/ToV-003.jpg. Bird? Sunspot?
