Venus transit 06062012 from sunny Nyngan + video

I traveled to Nyngan to see the transit as Newcastle was not a good site due to the weather. Mike Sidonio Joined me and Brad Le Brocque drove up as well. I did miss my viewing buddy Alan Meehan, I really wished you were there Al!

I have a poultry 159gig of data to sift through but somewhere in there there must be something useable

the seeing was horrible, the mount - well thats another story. the location - inspiring - it would have seen the transit last century - the Company - priceless

I have a few samples just to get something up.

we set up in the dark and we just got to see in the begining by literally seconds as we set up behind a shed where we thought we would have more clearance. there is a whole story for this journey........but that is for later


EDIT: "well here is the trip from Newcastle"
