A Tale of two transits

Hello all,

I *finally* got around to processing and posting my gallery of images taken of the annular eclipse and Venus transit (I guess I won't be a great "breaking news" report, eh?). Anyway, it's better late than never! I hope it's worth the (3 month!) wait!

What’s really taken me so long to process all these images (aside from their sheer number) is that I also thought to take a stab at creating animations of the events:

Eclipse (Warning: 4MB in size!):

Transit (5 MB in size!):

Enjoy,
