I missed that portion as rushing to the venue when it happened. However, I did see it on the camcorder when I arrived...very nice..

i got some photos that show, more-or-less, the black drop. but the photos are of poor quality - yes even poorer than the few i posted here :oops:
so i opt not to post them. your understanding is much appreciated :wink:
will strive to do better next time. i think the next mercury transit is 2006!
:)
