I had about 30 minutes no clouds. About ten neighbors visited to see the spectacle. I was impressed with how big Venus was. I expected it to be smaller for some reason. We also compared the view through my #14 welders glass with eclipse glasses. The welders glass gave a far sharper image. Venus was almost not discernible through the glasses but it was very obvious through the glass. ________________________________
