Jenn and I viewed the transit from three sites, beginning in the backyard for 
ingress.  I tried too much with camera and scope swapping, and missed out on 
seeing the aureole, which Jenn was able to see in the white-light view.  We 
went to Tempe Library for the next hour and a half to do sidewalk astronomy.  
The last site was behind South Mountain, where I had scouted out the perfect 
saguaro for the sun and Venus to set behind at an azimuth of 295 degrees.
