Transit of Mercury 9 May 2016

[ameerat42]

Is anybody else going to MISS photographing the Transit of Mercury?

I will not be even watching it directly because of this (http://eclipsewise.com/oh/tm2016.html):(

Might have to just watch it here instead (http://www.ccssc.org/webcast.html):o

HI Am

Don’t think it’s visible from Oz?

Well unless we buy a ticket on a plane, anybody and everybody else here is going to MISS photographing the Transit of Mercury.
I have next week free, so if you'd like to sponsor my travels I'll certainly post the photos I get here. Heck, you can even have the copyright for them photos.:)
