Diffrent from the 19 April. We get a Ingress as well as a Egress.

Well worth a look and photographers delight.

Thanks Dave for the heads up on the double transit in June. Will look forward to that one. I have posted some images from last night with Ganymede. I already knew about that one but did not know about the double. Do you know if we are going to get a triple this year or not?

[Dave47tuc]

Paul not sure of a triple this year.:confused:

Last night was great. I enjoy these events everytime i see one.

It was great to see the shadow Ingressing and Ganymede Egressing, with the shadow following.:D

In my 8.8UWA it was very interesting to see Jupiter with its moons as well as 10 or so field stars. Very nice picture.

Photo's do not pick this up.:D

Through my 9mm Nagler, I watched & was mesmerised by the transit. It was one of the most fascinating things I've seen especially since the seeing was exceptional down here. Geez,I gotta get my laptop fixed.I missed a fantastic kodak moment.......
