2004 Transit of Venus

[Rockin Robbins]

Just for fun, I've posted for the first time my video of telescopic observation of the transit of Venus across the Sun in June of 2004. This should be a boring video, but there is so much hilarious stuff going on, a looney lady who came to investigate "psychic effects" of the transit, a bug in my high tech projection equipment, speculation as to what the looney lady had in her coffee cup....I had forgotten about all of it and think you'll find it entertaining.

I had the Sun projected to 1000 power, about 18" in diameter with Venus 3/8" in diameter toward the last of the transit just after sunrise that morning.



Enjoy and ridicule as the spirit moves. We sure did!
