It looked great through the scope. Venus was quite a bit bigger than the sun is with the naked eye.

Oh, yeah, I saw a satellite pass in front of the sun during the Venus transit through the scope. Here's a vid of a jet doing the same thing (at 1:15):

Venus Transit sounds like a bus you'd take to get around Venus.
