It sucks when you miss the opportunity to view Venus by mere seconds.  Just as you've set up your telescope and sighted in, it's gone hiding behind the trees.  Another missed opportunity has afflicted me with a defeated, sinking feeling.  Sinking like Venus below the horizon.  But such is the life of an amateur astronomer.  What goes around, quite literally comes around.  And since I have an evening class and won't be home until long after sunset tomorrow, I guess it will have to come around twice.

I've made it my mission to get some half-decent pictures of Venus taken, hopefully by the end of the week.  Stay tuned for those.
