Venus Transit
Clear (though hazy) skies Tuesday morning allowed me to observe the rare transit of Venus across the Sun. I set up my old 2.4 inch refractor with jury-rigged projection on to white cardboard at 60x magnification from ~6:30 'til transit end outside the building where I work in Greenbelt. Image of Venus' disc was a small but sharp dot. I enjoyed showing the transit to several people as they arrived for work.
