I didn't have the right equipment for imaging, so I focused in showing the transit to as many people as possible with my little Coronado PST mounted on a regular camera tripod, first stop was my son's class, where he did some "show and tell" explaining what was happening, he is mad about astronomy and was begging me for weeks to take the scope to his school for show and tell...what better opportunity than this?.
The children loved it! I spent a lot more time there than I expected. Next step, a public viewing organised by the local astronomy club at the wharf.....it went very well, we promoted the viewing days before and a lot of people turned to see it.
I don't regret not having photos, I knew there will be tons of awesome pics online. I left everything for the last moment and didn't find a suitable filter for my 10'' sct and don't have the right gear to fit the camera to the coronado.
