Transit of Venus

The transit of Venus, on the 8th of June, 2004.
Not having an appropriate sun filter (Baader, etc), I had to rely upon an ND+4 filter, and two polarising filters rotated to cut out as much light as possible, and then also wait for enough cloud to make the sun barely visible ... a trifle foolhardy, if you ask me, and not to be recommended!
