Missed the picture of the century :( (venus)

Whilst observing the Transit of venus today, I missed the once in a lifetime
photo oppotunity. But I'm not upset. The piccy, would have been Venus and a
Place both crossing the sun. Oh well. I did manage to see this happen
though. ;-)

Nothing will upset me today, as I was fortunate enough to see the transit.
Even better, I've got three rolls of film heading off to the Fuji Labs ;-)

Anyone else taken/missed strange photos like that today?

"""Place"""?

Plaice, Plate or Plane?

There is a great shot a plane passing through on the binaries pix NG.

I missed two planes and a flock of birds, but I did get enough fuzzy
pictures to keep me happy. Forgot to record most of the TV coverage,
though. Patrick Moore's daytime star party looked great fun.
I wonder if anyone caught ISS crossing the sun?

A what? a PLAICE? You're meant to stay off the gin till afterwards.

hmm, I might be having a good day, but I still can't spell. It should
have been "plane".

Shame; a plaice would have been something!

Three planes crossed the Sun from my viewpont. Far too fast to capture
on camera and the vapour trails were quickly whisked away by the high
winds up there. The clouds were absolutely racing across from the NW
from start to finish. Though thankfully with good breaks or thinning.
Some larger clouds were expanding so fast that the trailing edges were
coming back towards me! A very nice halo towards the end as higher
cloud moved in. My camera overexposed it so the sun was just a big
glare though the clouds.
Immediately after the transit it clouded over and then it rained
during the afternoon. You can't really ask for better than that. It
helps to have friends in high places! My sympathies to those that
missed it. Now, where did I put the after-sun cream? ;-)
