I carried my telescope, a little 4-incher over to Hutto Lake Park and set up the projection screen where it would be shaded by stone pillar. Then it was just a matter of aiming the eyepiece in the right direction and keeping the telescope tracking the sun.
I had many people come and look at the rare event. Quite a few people had heard about it on the news but weren't aware that it was going on right then. I waved at all the people who came by telling them to come see Venus and it was their last chance in 105 years.
I also invited all everyone by Twitter and Facebook to come by. Graham Perks came with his kids and his binoculars to set up a similar projection system. It was a successful few hours until the sun moved behind a cloud bank in the west and it was time to pack it all up.
