Hi Stu
I think most of can share your pain about forgetting some piece of gear when heading out for a nights observing and / or imaging. Is it because a lot of us aren't getting any younger and the memory is not as good as it used to be or has our inventory gotten too complicated. Distinctly remember underestimating how long it takes to set up when trying to capture the April Saturn occultation and missing the first half of ingress and also getting it wrong where on the limb the re-appearance would be. By the time I realised that I should be seeing Saturn again and panning along the limb only to find that it had already completely re-appeared.
Glad you got to enjoy the Mercury transit visually, hopefully I will get to see the next one.
