I'm really looking forward to this event.

According to Stellarium, 19:50pm will have Titan at its peak as it transits across Saturn ON THE 12/3/09 Does the sound about right?

Also I note the MOON...its right next to Saturn or very close. I assume this should not be too much of a problem?

Could anyone suggest what colour filter might give good results?

I missed the other transits but have arranged time off, in an attempt to spot this event with my 12” Dob.

I don’t suppose anyone can give any hints or tips to assist with my attempt?

I hope the storm up north will blow out by then & those of us around south east QLD won’t have to worry about clouds for this event. I take it this is the last one for another 15 years. Fingers crossed...I’m yet to observe a transit with Saturn. I’ll be 55 before i get another chance...I’ll probably need a bigger scope then.
