Default Non-Photos of the Transit of Venus

The photos linked from SAA posts have been wonderful, every one of them.

I'm sorry that I don't have any of my own, but I have posted some pix
from the brave effort that members of the Howard Astronomical League
made to view the Transit of Venus. They are at my non-commercial,
family-safe web site at
http://www.davidillig.com/ast-hal040608.shtml.

John Steinberg:
Thanks for documenting the event and kudos for the avoidance of the
"Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan" syndrome.


I was thinking more along the lines of "Success has many fathers, but
failure is a *******."

Ah, yer just jealous 'cos we in the UK got da full 6 hours! ;-)

But frankly, waking up at 06:00 was just a little too tiring for me. So I
watched 1st and 2nd contact, went back to bed for 4 hours, got up
again (11:00) and viewed 3rd and 4th contact. My scope was still
tracking the Sun correctly after my long snooze. Is that, like, the
most leisurely astronomical event, ever? :-)

2). Some, although not all, just like to wake early to make sure our
country is still there and/or not under Marshall Law.


You mean like in Gunsmoke, with Marshal Dillon?
