Hi all:

Had a great time imaging this beautiful transit last evening. At an elevation of only 19 to 20 degrees it's hard to record much detail. The right image is a composite of 1575 frames taken at 3:12UT and the left image is 300 frames taken just 6 minutes later. Meade 10" SCT at f/28 (Ultima 2X), SPC900NC, Baader UV/IR cut, Rv4, Seeing: 4/10.

Take it easy, Dan grin

PS: If your eyes stay crossed, don't blame me... 8O

Thanks,

Dan, great captures and the 3D effect is incredible! Last night the clouds never cleared for me to catch the Europa transit. Next 10 days are not looking good either. Thanks for posting that one

Regards,
Steve

Hey Dan, that's a nice catch. It's amazing how many people caught that one too (CN forum included.) Your shots let me know how it looked after my brief session (due to clouds.)

Have you glimpsed at your "Saturday" Mercury videos yet?
