Right, Go to September 20 2003 AD. Make sure and select the sun in the

find
box - so you can see it through the horizon and leave horizon and daylight
etc on so you will notice the sunrise.
Go to options - Viewing Location and click on the lat/long tab and
set Lat to 0 then set long to 88 degree 5.533'E and then hit play at
30,000x.


Double Sunrise! And the rest of the sky just keeps moving.

Could any one tell me where is the best viewing point (or indeed any
viewpoint) on Mercury is to witness the Double Sunrise.

You probably want to ask this in sci.astro.amateur


And then report back. EMWTK.
