Summary:
Every 120 years or so a dark spot
glides across the Sun. Small, inky-black,
almost perfectly circular, it's
no ordinary sunspot. Not everyone
can see it, but some who do get
the strangest feeling, of standing,
toes curled in the damp sand, on
the beach of a South Pacific isle....

Just
missed a plane passing trough, at
the end of the Venus transit. And
all that just for my birthday! I thank
the skies above. |

Just
a couple of pics about the feeling
of the transit in my room, projections
on white cardboard and some larger
on the wall, small 60mm refractor
and basic digital cam. Two rare events
: the transit itself of course and
no rain in Belgium! ;-) |

I
took this picture by beaming the light
coming from my telescope onto the
wall of my house. |

The
sun just peaked out of these clouds
2 minutes before third contact --
very fortunate! |

This
photo was taken at 6:02 CDT using
a Sony DSC-V1 shooting through an
8” cat. The viewing at our site
was delayed about 15 minutes due to
a bank of low clouds in the East,
which are still seen in the photo
obscuring a portion of the Sun. |
