Thanks Mike... I nearly missed it completely... The window was very small only 2-3 minutes or so. If i had not had a practice yesterday and had the gear ready to go I would have failed totally.

I guess I got really lucky... I am in Adelaide for meetings and took part of the day to view the transit with the PST. Clouds resulted in no-go for 1st & 2nd contact, but I got to observe 3rd and to within a minute or two of 4th (a large cloud came over).
OIC!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the thoughts. I was resigned to not getting a pic at all and feel very lucky to have seen this event for myself.
Grahame and a bunch of the guys left Perth for Esperance last night at 2300 to try and avoid the weather. I'm still waiting to hear how they went !!!
All the best
Paul
