Hi Jonathan,
We had a great day with clear skies from the start of the transit to the finish. Geoff Wright, the Surveyor who presented the SolarScope to the school, made a special visit and spent a good portion of his morning with the students as they passed through the scopes. In addition to the SolarScope, I set up the 80mm to project an image onto white card and a Baader filtered 12" Dob. The views were superb. One of the better images is attached.
The support of the Science Club Teacher and the School Admin made it possible for everyone to take part and see the transit. A total of just over 600 people.
The Science Club will probably expand in numbers after this event.
How did you go? Were you at a school as well?
