But around greatest transit it miraculously got clear enough for me to see, with my eclipse glasses, Venus, barely visible, on the disk of the Sun. At least I got to see SOME of the transit.

Stunning, marvellous, classic gallery! :-) Watched this Cytherean transit from the Adelaide Festival plaza with the South Aussie Astronomical Society yesterday - so crowded but such a great day. Hundreds of people queuing for each of the ten solar filtered telescopes set up there and plenty more gathered around the half-binocular projection onto card that I helped with at times too. Missed the first & second contacts due to clouds but they cleared after a few hours and this ended up being a very successful, astronomically wonderful event indeed. :-) Thankyou BA & photographers here.
