SYZYGY - Venus transit across the Sun

2012 June 6th 8.18am Sydney (+10GMT)
Venus passed between the Earth and the Sun - last transit for 105 years.
An astronomical syzygy. A syzygy is a straight line configuration of three celestial bodies.

These photos are a little soft due to the Cross polarization filter.
Best I could do - extremely bright exposure otherwise.
