That came out nice! I had considered setting up my old Meade 200mm with the solar filter and an appropriate eyepiece and mating a digicam to do eyepiece photography like you did. In the end, time got the best of me and I had to retrench to just the telephoto approach.

Give me your opinion....
....how will the common person "capture" the Venus transit in 2117 ?

okay, never mind the comments from the peanut gallery. I GOT IT!
May not be wonderful, but dang, I got it.
I shot it through these:
 ... (They are reflecting the table top, since they are very dense)

Here is one I took. It isn't as detailed as some of the beautiful ones the rest of you have posted but I was very happy to get it!
Taken with a Panasonic G1 and with the Panasonic 100-300mm lens at full zoom which is 600mm in 35mm format. I used a ND400 neutral density filter on some of my shots but it actually worked better just to hold a piece of Shade 8 welding glass in front of the camera.
Here is a link to the image on Flickr:

Great stuff all!
I created an animation, it didn't turn out bad at all... unfortunately I can't share it, because it doesn't seem to want to play correctly on DPC, even though it plays perfectly on my system. Ah well, it's late. Time for bed.

Just before it disappeared behind the clouds for the rest of the night. It never got low enough on the horizon to look at with the naked eye. |

I made a quick animation of the first 35 minutes or so (couldn't stay there longer) 
... and here is one shot from later on, near the mid-point. 
These are 100% crops, no other processing except for stacking/aligning for the animation.
432mm (35mm EQ), f/3.51, 1/1250 sec, ISO 80 with approximately 4.0-density film as a solar filter.

I agree. But we had clouds and a bit of rain, though in western Japan it was clear. |

Pure cloud cover here :-( Nice shots, people!

I'm jealous of the color in people's photos (it makes me want to add color to mine!)
I shot around 6:30pm, so no sunset type colors, and I used some sort of optical filter sheet that looked kind of like mylar (there was a transit party on the top of the physics building -- with telescopes, projection, and this funky mylar sheet that I held in front of my 100-400 lens. But really no color...

Surface temperature about 400° and an atmosphere primarily made up of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid -- I think I'll take Mars ... |

I would say I'd take Uranus but that's being discussed already in another thread ;) |

Have you been to Phoenix? It's not much different and people seem to love it. |

Perhaps no color, but the clouds gives some extra dimension to this ones. |

No, but I've been to the Dairy Queen in Prescott. |

And that's 460°C, so 860°F!

This is from this morning's newspaper, so obviously not my work. The transit as seen from a part of Japan that wasn't cloudy. (Today would have been a good day...)
