Transit of Venus
#19
Here are my first images and a video
I went to Greenwood Boat dock, in Louisville to capture these images because it was closer to home than where the astronomy club was hosting their event, and I thought it might be too crowded there. More importantly, I needed my scope to be near my car, and that was not possible at the club event. Anyway, the view was really good considering the clouds early on. Here are a couple of my pictures, and a time-lapsed video:

The following video will have to be downloaded from the link and then run on windows media player until I can get it uploaded on youtube. Sorry about that. It is only 1.4 megabytes, and is virus safe:

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
