Too right Mr Saddo. I sold my TVR and bought a Lunt, got up at 3am, drove to the seaside, and stood in the rain for an hour.

Still, mustn't grumble!

We were also clouded out here in Canada on (wait for it ...) 'The Sunshine Coast'. About half a dozen of us stayed by the seawall from 2.30 pm right until sunset around 9.12 pm in the hopes of catching the sun in the clear as it got low in the sky ... But no luck. At one point we did glimpse the sun through thin clouds but not enough to catch a glimpse of Venus. A couple of our club members placed their bets and headed out of town to where they hoped it would be clear. At least one of them was successful and saw the whole transit from Vancouver Island. Lets not get too upset - Venus passes in front of the Sun all the time - but mostly a little above or below our line of sight. Today of course, completely clear skies!

Really poor here I watched it from 2300 the night before on Slooh

Great images grabbed

Got up looked out of window and went back to bed...........

yeah, we seem to miss all the good events in uk, either there on the horizon out of view or the weather is poor. i have not yet seen any of the meteor showers due to poor weather.

I'm sorry that you were let down but in the end we are always prisoners of our own atmosphere. I read that many spent money to make it to Hawaii and that they only had part of the show due to clouds themselves. I was one of the lucky ones to have seen it but did not have your equipment though. I wish I did!
