(And now I'm in the market for a new camera; I had a terrible time focusing! )
But I was still happy to see something that no one alive today will see again!

New York was very cloudy, but we managed to get a couple of quick glimpses.
My dad managed to get this shot through one of the breaks.
(1/8000 sec, ISO 200, F 5.6, exposure compensation - 5 V)

Projected the sun using a spotting scope onto white paper and snapped a picture with an inexpensive digital camera. Glad to be able to witness this once in a lifetime event!

Three firsts at the same time: My first green flash, my first transit of Venus (and probably the last), and Venus' mirage.

Venus Transit
Clouds covered the sky but with a clearing on the horizon the sun was visible just as it set over the hillside. I had about 2 minutes to view the transit and capture a few shots.

All were taken with a Pentax K-x in Antioch, Illinois where the weather was perfect today.

Not the greatest transit picture, but dang good luck! I think that is a 737 in the upper left, taking off from Austin if my guess is correct.

The transit of Venus in progress as the Sun sets behind the McMath Solar Telescope atop Kitt Peak located 12 miles away from the photographer. The image is a composite of the Sunset behind the McMath Solar Telescope through a solar filter and an image taken 3 minutes later after the Sun was below the mountain taken without a solar filter.

Transit of Venus
DSLR image using a white light filter. I've got lots of video through a hydrogen alpha scope, but the processing for that will have to wait until tomorrow. I was dodging clouds the whole time.

This was taken in the Mojave Desert, CA. I used a welder's mask.
