Michael Hotka's
Venus Transit 2012 Sketches

Sketch 1 is the Ingress of Venus onto the Solar Disk. I clearly saw the Aureole Effect, or Venus's atmosphere.

Sketch 2 is at 7:19 PM, showing Venus's progress across the Sun.

Sketch 3 is a set of sketches of Venus, nearly 1/2 way across the Sun and its progress in 5 minute increments.
