Like Robin I was blessed with a clear sky (although it was blocked by a tree to the south of my observatory prior to and just after the occultation!)

Well the weather co-operated for a change and the whole event was visible, only slightly marred by a few whispy clouds. I hope some of you managed to see it too.
I took some shots of disappearance and reappearance using a Digital SLR camera with a 300mm lens on a fixed tripod. some of these have been combined into short video showing Venus re-emerging from behind the Moon (greatly speeded up, the actual length of this sequence was about 5 minutes)
You can see more pictures taken before and after on my website here
