I usually round it up to 93.

A few years ago I began to watch Venus transit in front of the sun with a welding mask. Caught the very beginning. Then the clouds rolled in.

I’m not a scientist, nor do I play one on tv. I just tend to follow this stuff and occasionally play with the math.

Yeah, I caught the whole thing with my 17x70 tripod-mounted binocs. Me and the club I was in at the time set up scopes for the public to observe the 2004 event.

Here are some images I found on the net...

However, I'm not sure which are from the 2004 transit and which are from the 2012.
