[AZ-Observing] Images of Occultation of Venus

Here are some images of the beautimous Venus occultation that occurred this 
morning.

I used a 70-200mm lens with a 20D, and then attached the 20D to a TV101 
refractor.  The Webcam was in the 10" at prime focus, and I recorded ingress, 
but missed egress.

Thanks to Rick Tejera for the excellent description.  I don't have much more to 
add.  All aspects of the event were pleasing views through the little Pronto, 
and the naked eye view was great as well.

Post-processing the video, I see that the entire ingress took roughly 4800 
frames, which would correspond to 80 seconds at 60 fps.
