Mercury's Double Sunrise
I know I have asked this question here before , but I forgot to save the
scenario in Starry Night. Could any one tell me where is the best viewing point (or indeed any viewpoint) on Mercury is to witness the Double Sunrise. Also, a date when this happens would be handy. I'm trying to recreate it in Starry Night. Thanks a lot. |

You probably want to ask this in sci.astro.amateur I use Starry Night Pro 5.7 but I've never tried to do what you're asking. -- "Fame may be fleeting but obscurity is forever." ~Anonymous "I believe as little as possible and know as much as I can." ~Todd Stuart Phillips www.angryherb.net |

Mercury's Double Sunrise
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. "Mary Pegg" wrote in message ...
