Triumph of Optimism!

Triumph of Optimism!

Roger Comish
["The enclosed picture is a triumph of optimisim over technology. I had a telescope set up to catch the transit but things went very wrong and I got no images. In order to try and catch some kind of memento of the day I used the only things we had to hand, an autofocus 3 mega-pixel pocket camera and a piece of welders glass No.14 simply placed over the front. I'm amazed it caught anything. I will treasure it for ever. But its probably the worst picture of the event ever!"]
