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.
