Skies were clear (for a change) here in Ottawa, Canada. We (the Ottawa RASC)
had a great view of the event.

One thing that struck me was that I could resolve the planet with my naked
eye (with proper filtering of course!). I am impressed by the (large)
relative size of Venus when viewed from earth.
