Binocs projecting on white cardboard is working great for me. I can also clearly see sunspots. A steady hand works if you don't have a tripod.
Warning! Never look at the sun through binoculars directly! Project the image onto white paper or cardboard.

I can confirm: Binoculars-on-a-stick is really easy and rally great. The only problem is that the darned Sun keeps moving out of alignment. Curse you, rotating-planet-Earth!

Why is one side of the circle more red and the other more blue?
Watching through eclipse glasses, you really do get the sense of Venus hanging there in 3D space, all those miles away. It's pretty humbling.
Clouds ruined it for me. Feeling pretty down. Video doesn't do this justice :(
Could someone at NASA please move away the mouse cursor?

Does anyone know of an Android-friendly site for this event?
Oy.
Oy.
Does Flash not work on your device?
I don't think so. And the thing jumps around and won't center on my screen properly.
Hmm, well the one I'm viewing is http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/nasatv_android_flash.h... on an ICS phone with flash installed.
Thanks! I can at least see an image. Woot!

Does Nasa know something about the solar system and celestial mechanics that we don't?
