Transit of Venus

I've just sent my observation to VT-2004. Second contact at 5:44:20.636.

It must be a fluke; naked eye observation with short sighted eyes and it's giving an AU calculation of only 1.6% off.

Well off to work, where I suspect the laptop stopwatch, GPS unit and blackout kit are only going to confirm my colleagues' fears.
