I didn't see a hint of it in the first hour of the transit--looking via

Bad news Sam - I'm sorry you missed it

A lot of solar projection observations mention the black-drop effect.
Was there anyone out there that saw the transit with a projection
arrangement but didn't see the black-drop?

I used an 8'' Newt projected on to a piece of paper. I am a newbie so my
quality is not great. In this pic,

there is some black drop.
