Venus Observed!
Well it did not look too good this morning,but at 7.30 am thought I'd better put an effort in to get observatory ready-lots of frantic preparation (no PPPPP here today(prior,preparation,prevents,po or,performance).But managed to get two scopes combat ready,one with camera.
All I wanted was just one image of the historic event,well the clouds cleared right on 8.16 am! and have been able to witness and take photo's,I allowed my son to stay at home,and he is currently doing some sort of time lapse with his gear.He has been taking photos with phone camera held up to a 7 mm naglar which is through a ED 81 scope,and getting some good images.They will be uploaded to 'chatter box',and I discussed with him how captain Cook went to South Pacfic and all what happened,here now we can send those images in an instant anywhere in the world in a heart beat-poor old Cook,had a bad time getting all his data back to England back then,even wrecked the ship badly on the way back-makes internet drop out look not too bad!
Hope all IIS members have a great transit!
