Is anyone else planning on photographing this event?

Timeline for the Pacific Northwest (USA).
Because timings shift slightly depending on your precise coordinates, plan around this approximate window:
  • 11:40 AM PDT: Disappearance (Immersion). Venus will vanish behind the invisible, unlit (dark) edge of the crescent Moon. The disappearance takes about 30 seconds to complete.
  • 11:40 AM – 12:45 PM PDT: The Hidden Phase. Venus remains hidden completely behind the Moon for roughly one hour.
  • 12:45 PM PDT: Reappearance (Emersion). Venus will slowly emerge from behind the bright, sunlit edge of the Moon.
