Transit Images - my contribution

Hi everyone,

Here are a couple of images from my set. Could only take white light images as the PST was in service with the public. Also I had to cut down on my gear as I needed to take it all with me on the flight.

I really enjoyed this event both visually and photographically. To me it is one of the highlights of my observing career.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks David. I had a wonderful time at the Brisbane Planetarium. The Brisbane Astronomical Society are a great bunch and did a great job showing the public. I was glad to help out and thankful for the clear day.

regards,

RichardJ

Hi,

The new image I posted looked dim, so I've tweaked the levels and uploaded the result.

RichardJ.
