Cloudy, with almost no chance of Venus, ended up being the weather yesterday. I did manage a glimpse through a telescope, during one of the brief interludes when the clouds thinned. I also snapped this, with my transit/eclipse glasses covering my iPad camera lens

A somewhat pixelated Venus might be that dark blotch in the upper left, just inside the rim. Maybe. It was taken about the right time for it to be there, I think. But it might just be part of the cloud.

 

We had an OK turnout and it was fun talking to people, play with some of the other kids and I even got a chance to tour our 26" telescope, which I had not previously visited.Read and comment on the full post
