Cool!

Your choice of location of Venus is interesting--I presume you must have more shots over much of the traverse, yet you chose to display the one where it's right at the edge.

Well, in fact, I almost missed the transit entirely. It was very foggy here and it wasn't until the end that the fog thinned enough to see the sun. So, this was the first shot that I was able to get of the transit and the one where Venus is the furtherest from the limb of the sun.
Thanks,

Very nice shot - I would have thought there would be some filter on this, but I guess I was wrong, and most likely because I tried to look up at the sun :shock:

thanks for sharing this for the people who were unable to capture it
