I like it. The weave in the projection surface makes for a nice effect. Glad you could see it.

Alvaro, this is most-definitely NOT ugly.
Indeed, yours is now one of my all-time favorite transit photos. It conveys a certain "normal" or "real" quality that a typical telescopic/filtered image does not. What's even more interesting to me is how the photo -- a very simple, natural image -- seems to belie or contradict the rarity of the event itself.

Bravo!
