Thanks Graeme, my Flea3 and even the old DMK are only 640 x 480 pixels. For me, the history behind this event is of great significance, not only to the discovery of Australia but the part it played in the history of astronomy so I really do want to capture the transit with the full Solar disc. Reckon it will make a nice poster to display in my observatory.

Thanks Matt, reckon there will be some amazing captures of this transit. I am not into Solar imaging but hope to create a reasonable record of the event with my 450D. I can only imagine what very hi res work will be done by you and the other Solar imagers here on IIS.
