ASTRO: Titan's Shadow Transit - rare event
After several failed attempts, I finally caught Titan's shadow transit.
I wish the seeing were better but you get what you can I guess. C8 at f/46, Phillips ToUCam. -- Adriano http://www.edmar-co.com/adriano/ 34°14'11.7"N |

Thanks! I like your observatory; well done! The next Titan shadow
transit will occur on April 29 - check your ephemeris for local times. md wrote: excellent! congrats.

Looks good to me. Even in my 10" f/8 50's era Cave it isn't an easy
naked eye target except for instants of better than average seeing and then only every 15 or so years. Don't think I've even tried for it since the ring crossing in the 60's. With film I never hit the seeing needed so it was only a visual target. Web cams were in short supply back then!
