/me is jealous
how much does that cost? Just wondering.

Not a ton, you just need to find one that's the right size. I got mine for about $50 or $60 through AstroZap (http://www.astrozap.com/).

Viewing the Transit of Venus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUJZt-FXSFY#ws)
-
my county has a 'astronomy' club and we are veiwing venus through solar filters :D. im going to be one of the first people because i have to leave and get ready for my concert later, so lucky me. i hope a get to see the part when venus is crossing the edge of it. Also, we have a tracking telescope for more epic win.
But awesome movie Bla.

Looks like I'll be missing it due to clouds. :(

Chances are the fog will roll in before we get a chance to see it over here in San Diego. Might be visible along the beach though when the sun is low on the horizon.
