Firstly, I hope that those who wanted to see this transit managed at least a
glimpse. It really was a nice show. I know that several people who hadn't
expected to see it actually did (more on this later).

Really delightful read. Thanks for sharing, now go get some rest!

I second that. I hope none of the walkers' dogs pi$$ed on Ed's telescope
tripod legs.

I watched the transit with my 8" LX200 in my garden with a Pentax film
camera mounted at the prime focus. Took an exposure every 10 minutes
except for more frequent exposures in the opening and closing stages.
