Taken through an Explore Scientific 127mm 5 inch apochromatic refractor with a Canon 7DMkII.
See the YouTube video here (Captured using Canon EOS Camera Movie Record.)

I later noted from the video the middle of Venus on the Moon's eastern limb occurred at 09:22:27am MST (11:22:27am EST).
Basically, 1:03 into the video. The time was determined using Dimension 4, which recorded NIST time and hence reflects the start of the video.
