Tom, your images of the transits are spectacular-- and on a 70mm refractor! Wow! Thanks for sharing.

I have been scoping out sites with Google Earth, and posted an overview and four potential sites at this link. http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4100/5xnw.jpg Go to the Web site http://www.calsky.com/ for detailed maps of this event. Admittedly, Space Station transits of the sun and moon are not much to look at visually, typically lasting all of a half second. If you have a webcam or dSLR that can do multiple frames per second, you can come away with some interesting results, like these. http://www.pbase.com/polakis/image/95364577 http://www.pbase.com/polakis/image/124139000 Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. ----- No virus found in this message.
