Go nuts!
Calsky is good value. Are you using their email alert service?

I've been on the email alert list for SS passes in front of the sun or moon for several months now, so I've just recently changed the alert for any passes within 10 ks of home. I'm prepared to do the calcs and find a spot to see/image the transit.

Better late than never!

After many attempts, I have finally managed to create a working gif of the HST from Friday night.
