It takes something special these days to set the pst up in the crankin' sun and Wednesdays transit certainly counted :). I didn't get too many Avi as it was more a viewing day but caught the important parts, start and finish with a few in between.

Best 500/900, PST & DMK21, Registax 6 and an attempt to colorize in PS. Its been so long I've forgotten how i used to do it. Might have a dig in the archives and find that pdf.

Looks good - Venus is round and there is a fair bit of action toboot!

lol thanks Pete, sometimes i get lucky, though I'll admit that the seeing got better during the morning. Here's one from around 9. I'll forgo the colorization on this one. ;)

High praise, thanks Matt.

Unfortunately I've had equipment failure on the rest. :sad: I accidently left the DMK sitting next to the Flamethrower exhaust fan port on my HP for about 4 hours and by the time I picked it up it was VERY HOT. This caused one corner in all the avi to be out of focus for some reason. I hope it hasn't permanently damaged it. I've not looked since packing up.

I hope the DMK is OK!?
That image is good too - the active region is not burned out - a great record of the event!

I like the mono image best I think. No the coloured one. Both are great. LOL

I haven't checked yet Marcus :scared:

Thanks Jeanette and Dave. I nearly didn't get them cos of the number of people wanting to have a Capt Cook. It was a fun day and i didn't get a single bit of assessment marked all day. What a shame .... though I'm paying for it now. :doh:
