Missed the start due to trees, was gonna go down the road a bit but didn't think it would be worth it by the time I packed the scope in to the car and got there anyway.

Started viewing through the trees because I was too excited haha

Beautiful clear skies till about 11:00 and within 10 minutes full of clouds.
Still got a couple of views through them, but now it's really thick and am watching online.

Here's some websites for anyone in the same position.

Really happy with the amount of time I had though. Took some sketches and tried to get a few photos through the scope and off, don't know how they'll turn out though.

It really puts Earth in perspective, seeing Venus up there traversing the Sun.... I feel more part of the Universe
