Today we went to my alma mater – Harvey Mudd College to check out the Transit of Venus. HMC was holding a special event for alumni. The Transit of Venus is a once every 100+ year event where Venus crosses between the Earth and the Sun. The next one will be 2117.
Check out my cool photo! I shot this on my Canon 7D at f/16, ISO100, 1/80 at 135mm (with a tripod and a solar filter).
Everyone also got some cool solar viewing glasses.
Here we are outside of Galileo hall.
We then went on a mini-tour of the campus. The girls decided to pretend lecture at Galileo Hall.

You are very correct… it was Galileo Hall (its only been about 20 years)!
[…] was considerably easier to focus and get some great shots than the Transit of Venus we did in […]
