2012 Venus Report from
Caracas, Venezuela, had totally clear skies during the event. I watched in the
company of my family and from my house, where we could see the sun all
afternoon until sunset on the horizon itself. The group indicated we could
observe with a telescope reflector 8 " with white light filter. Also use
the classic lenses eclipse of 1998 that gave Venezuela all the total eclipse of
February of that year. Of which had 4 that had not been used, and the glass
solder # 12 and # 13 for the observations without telescope.
The sunset was
extraordinary because for the last 15 minutes dimmed the brightness of the
solar disk and got to see Venus as a spot with the naked eye and without filter
that began to appear from the upper right. Also use three binoculars, 10X50,
with their respective filters solar, which tubimos fantastic views of the sun
and the shadow of Venus. After dark, we could follow it online from my website
in which is the live broadcast of the event. It was the maximum you now will
pass the baton to the next observers of the future XXII century in 2117.
