Transit of Venus

Is kind of starting soon
will be live to watch here
http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/webcasts/nasaedge/

I saw the 2004 one through a ruddy great telescope with a huge filter on thanks to the astronomers at the university I worked at at the time

well i'm on that link and it supposed to have started over 20 mins ago and all I see is a big orange ball with not a hint of a black dot moving across it. Did venus slowdown or can't NASA sort a live feed out.

this one seems to be looking at the correct star www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/06/watch-transit-venus/

well, that was worth getting up for, when will one get another chance to see a sky full of cloud!
