Transit of Venus - June 5 2012

*Whew*

Saw it! Just by the hair of my chinny chin chin.

Literally moments before first contact the spotty holes in the clouds closed up completely. So we hopped in the Mrs. Moonie mobile and set off on an adventure. We chased the holes in the clouds for close to two hours and managed to find one 5-min window where we had a good view. Using the binoculars with solar glasses duct taped over the primary lenses I had a great view before the clouds closed in again.
