Building up to the big event next Tuesday, Venus is now in the Solar & 
Heliospheric Observatory's LASCO C3 frame.  Mercury is nearby, moving in the 
opposite direction.  Aldeberan and the Hyades are near the bottom of the frame.

Since SOHO will be well away from the ecliptic plane at the time of the 
transit, it will observe a miss rather than a transit.  It's summarized here.
