My wife spent the transit at two of my sons school, (1) so that we can be sure that they would experience it, in the context of a shared experience with their friends, and (2) so that all the kids might have a chance to see it and maybe one day telling their grandchildren what they saw and that they themselve might see one in the future.

Any way, I am not that happy with the shots I took through the C9.25, but Anne-Louise using my WO 110 mounted on her StarLapse captured plenty of good data. I have processed some and attached, and put together an animation, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2OAvnzqhSs

Cheers

BTW, SO many great shots, and way too many to post to as I am a bit busy of late.

Nice images Tony. Not sure if it is intentional, but you have spelt Fourth contact as Forth contact.

I'll fix it when I get home, you were the first to spot it.

Cheers

Thanks David, Marc, and Matt. The kids certainly enjoyed it and it was great to have had all the kids, teachers, teacher aids, and some parents come through. The Proncipal and DP's seemed very grateful that we were able to assist the school in this way.

Cheers
