Damn!
Next time I need to look more closely! |
Are you sure, Mike?
The track width is usually 6-7 kms wide... 200m is near enough to on the centreline if you ask me.
Shame you missed it, but to be honest that isn't hard (to miss it
)! I've had a couple of opportunities to try to catch it crossing the moon or sun... but so far haven't been successful.
