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.
