Mercury Transit - HOT!

Hi saa,

I too am watching Mercury transit the Sun. But, it is so hot here in
southern California I can only watch for a few minutes at a time.....me
and the scope back to the shade for a few, then out to watch
again.....over and over and over! But a great sight!

It is truly a wonderful event. We in Europe were privy to both the
Mercury and Venus transits a few years back.

Enjoy it to its fullest!

Was warm here in Palm Springs too. But i probably got to show about 30 people at my workplace. It always surprises me that some people are not interested at all and others, sometimes people i always thought were a little dull, are often the most interested and ask the best questions. Two people thought they could actually see Mercury move after looking for a few seconds. Probably just an illusion but i didn't say anything to ruin their fun. ;-)

My Dob stayed out in the open all day long.
