While the upcoming Annular Eclipse will be interesting, I wonder what if any
plans are in the wind for the Transit of Venus 6 June 2012. Of course if you
miss it you can see it next time in 2117.
I viewed the last transit of Venus in 2004 from my sister's place in upstate
NY. See http://www.hposoft.com/Astro/Venus%20Transit/Venus%20Transit.html
A very interesting and exciting event. This time it can be seen from Arizona. I
will have my 8"LX90 set up with a full aperture solar filter. I may also use my
60 mm ETX refractor with filter like I did for the NY observations. I'm just
not sure where I will set up.
