On June 5th, 2012, the planet Venus will transit between the sun and the Earth. To the casual observer, it will appear as a tiny black ball against the Sun's surface. The transit will take place between 5 pm and 8 pm central time.

I've been invited by the Middle Tennessee State University Astronomy Club to bring my Canon 7D to the Observatory on campus and they will provide adapters to connect my camera with their telescope to get pictures of this lifetime event.
The next Venus transit is not going to happen again until 2117.
I can't wait to see the kinds of images this will produce, should be incredibly awesome.
I just hope we have clear skies and good weather for this.
