Perfect! The best I could do was watch on NASA's website!
Did the last one - in 2004 - with my kids using a telescope projecting onto a sheet of paper.
Won't be doing the next one.

you're right! That's why I had to clone out all those other 'venuses'

Nice one Matt.

If you haven't seen the NASA ultra hi-def video compilation of the transit...it's very cool too:

my attempt of the Venus transit in June in Capitol Reef NP.
Due to a wildfire the sun appeared so red and some of the smoke clouds are visible in the pictures.
But the smoke also helped and I used only one filter.
All shots are handheld due to 60+mph wind gusts that day

Nice shots, Yvonne...
I think the wildfire red added to the images.
Also like the partial lunar eclipse...awesome to see that shadow creep over the moon.
