Very nice! I was able to do that a number of years ago, but have no idea of where the pictures are now. But you did good!

From what I understand, you can see it all day (when it's 'up' of course!), but you have to know *exactly* where to look. I imagine that this would be a perfect job for one of those computerized telescope thingies...
LOL.. I have one of those computerized telescope thingies.. I just didn't know it was so easily visible during the day.
Live and learn. I just try to learn as much as I can in the time left. ;)
Thanks Bloke.

Thank you very much.
I almost forgot to pack the camera in the car.
Glad my lonely neuron decided to fire before I left the house.
(If I don't say it Sonny will...Maybe..)

Thank you very much for the compliment.
I'm glad you liked it.
I want to do a composite when I get a chance.

While true, you can go anywhere in space with Stellarium. ;)
Just shut off the Atmosphere view and there is the outer space view.
Slip over to the lower left side, Select the spyglass, enter in your desired target (Venus), and fly right there.
Then zoom in with a scroll wheel.
Your space ship awaits you.... :)

Very nice. These are the first postings I have seen showing it this close. Too cloudy here. And I was at work, and unable to watch it anyway.

Thanks Craig but I won't take all of the credit.
One of the sites posted a schedule that included Albuquerque that listed the start and finish times for me.
I just had to point and shoot a few minutes early.
The exit was sometime during about a 50 second window that I hit pretty close to.

Very nice again! You got it on both sides. Looks like no problem seeing Venus this late in the morning when you know where to point.

Thank you very much Jim.
I was surprised at just how bright Venus was during the daylight hours. I have a Go To mount so I may need to play around some just to see what I can do with this new found knowledge.

Fantastic set! No luck here, all clouds.
Thank you very much.
I don't know how often this happens and if the position is unique or not.
I've never heard of it.
