Ah crap, I go away for a few days, get a new boat, (well new for me) and theres's 862 unread
messages; I'm wondering how many are worth expending my time to read?


Anybody else get up early enough to watch the Venus transit this AM?

Cheers
Marty

Yes, definitely. You should read Bottomed Out before anything
else.

I tried a binocular projection late this afternoon local time but
we had some cloud issues. There was a spot, however!

none of mine.

My wife rousted me at 6AM. I used binoculars to project an image and I would
swear that I saw an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie dot on the Sun. That's my story
and I'm sticking to it!

I was out at 0600 EDT with my welders helmet, caught third and fourth contact
at around 0700, gives one sort of a neat feeling.

Aha, so you went ahead with it? Congratulations!

"watch"?? I get up early every morning, and I wasn't watching, I was
turning the crank to make it happen...

I did. I wanted to see the live webcast on the internet, but it was
buggy, and kept locking up. So I had to go outside, and actually look
at the sun through a filter.
