Venus transit of 2012.
We watched the transit of Venus in Bilkent campus!
The transit was seen on 6th June 2012, Wednesday, between 05:25-07:45 A.M. in Ankara.
Despite the clouds, we could see most of the transit from the sunrise to the end.
A small but enthusiastic group could observe the very special event by a telescope, a well-adjusted
DSLR camera and naked eye (all with proper solar filters, of course).

The next transit of Venus will take place in 2117!

The photos of the observation session can be accessed from here.
