Sydneysiders-any plans for Mercury Transit ?

Some folks from WSAAG are planning to meet at a lookout called Yellowmuindi on the Hawkesbury Road between Springwood and Richmond.

I know the Astronomy Online people are planning to set up some scopes at at Long Reef Headland in Collaroy

has any other planned observing been organised?

As I mentioned in a seperate post, I'll be at the Sydney Observatory with my 2 boys. They are doing a special program for those that book including some breakfast!

Should be a good one!

I'd like to give a tip of my hat to the good folks at the Sydney Observatory

They put together a very nice program for the transit...presentations, 3D movie, nice breakfast etc.

If only the clouds would have cooperated...

Oh well, Top Marks for a good effort...we'll try again in 26 years!
