Thanks Steve, the meeting should be interesting.
The transit was most interesting. I viewed and captured the Mercury
Transit in 1999 but was surprised at how much larger Venus was. Also,
noone had mentioned the halo around Venus before. Everyone was more
concerned about the black drop effect. The halo was much more
interesting.
See you Friday!
Jeff
