Transit Of Venus 2012 Time-Lapse

[Episkey]

I'm on the West coast in the U.S so I got a pretty good view of the transit today. Luckily there were clear skies-not a cloud in sight. Here is a time-lapse and a couple of pictures I got. All photos are 1/1600 sec., ISO 200, Prime Focus. I spent about 3 hours editing these and more in Photoshop afterward. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime event!
