Venus Transit from Newcastle close up

Hi all
Missed entry and egress but it cleared mid transit, here are some of my 10 inch shots.
The closeup was a video run with the 600D, as well as a series of stills stacked.
10 insh f5.6 newtonian, which had to be regularily taken off the mount and put inside when it rained, a plastic garbage bin covered the mount. It was showery all day with some clear patches.
