11. was able to see a little through the clouds

got the occasional naked eye glimpse through the clouds about an hour ago and could indeed see Venus in transit...then the clouds would jump back in. never more than a second or so of viewing. tried to setup a pinhole viewer but the cloud cover made it essentially unusable.

www.slooh.com gives a great view...
