This is very cool!

WOW. That's what we would look like. A small black, precious circle.

 You know what would be cool? An animation of the Earth rushing past in real time, full speed, past a stationary camera. From say half the distance to the moon.

I heard from a friend that while he was viewing the Venus transit the space station also when in front of the sun from his location.

REALLY?  Where was he?  I was out shooting and got Venus and sunspots.  It'd ROCK if I got the ISS, too!

Bad ass photos, 'brick.

Thanks!  Now I'm back home with the Dark Knight sound track blasting.  Life is good!

Those shots are AMAZING

Yes, that would have been awesome. He was in north Georgia, near the town of Young Harris. Might have been mistaken but I doubt it, he's pretty sharp about this stuff.

Thanks for the photo's. Nothing to see up here in the Northeast - we were all clouded over.

After further review, most likely not the ISS, maybe some other satellite.   Apologies for the false excitement.

Too bad.  I was getting satellite envy!
