Here is my attempt to record this mornings triple transit. This is my 3rd attempt at imaging Jupiter; the first with my MN76. Taken with ToUCam Pro, F15, 150 images stacked using Registax.

I've been reading some news articles this week about a mysterious green laser that shone into the cockpits of a couple of aircraft, I believe it was in the Cleveland area. It is being looked at as a possible terrorist-related event, but I wonder, with the increasing number of these lasers being used by amateur astronomers, if this could have been just an incidental "exposure" caused by one of us pointing out a constellation or something.

It also occurred to me that these lasers may be banned if it is decided that they are a threat to aircraft. Better get yours while you can!
