I was on a business trip during the transit of Venus but was
determined not to miss this event. So I took my camera gear with
me and planned on stopping by the NASA Ames Research Center where
the San Francisco Astronomy Club was holding a Venus Transit viewing.
This time lapse animation covers a little more than 3 hours of the transit.
