If everything goes as planned, I will be making a time-lapsed video of the transit. I just cleaned all my optics this morning, charged all my batteries, and am working with some video editing software to make sure I can produce a decent video. So far, everything looks good for today, especially the weather. Keeping fingers crossed.

Stay tuned to this thread. I will post my results when I complete the project.

Nice shots! I was limited to clamping a pair of binoculars and holding paper. It worked but the shots I tried 1 handed while holding the paper with the other hand didn't work.
