Transit of Venus video and images from Cranbourne Melbourne
I kept at it all day in melbourne despite the weather and managed to get 3rd contact at 2:26pm.

Saxon ED100 F/9 Refractor Telescope
Meade Starfinder EQ Mount
Canon 1100D @ Prime Focus
ISO-200
1/1000sec
Skywatcher 102mm Baader Solar filter

Video can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtZ3O...ature=youtu.be

It was an amazing experience.

Thanks Uri, I used a skywatcher 102mm baader solar filter, it was about the same price as the film. I just added color in PS.
