(Apolgies if this is a duplicate message...ISP probs ) Hi all, It has been a looonnnnngggg day ! I expect , by now you have Venus transit images coming out of your ears :O) I cannot believe it.... here on the Wirral , UK , we were clouded out , right through the event! However , against all odds , the old "cloud cutter" LX90 did its job and managed to grab me some pictures. Even when I travelled 10 km to catch the ISS transit two hours later , the clouds stayed with me. I have combined the exit point of Venus , with the entry point , two hours later , of ISS. Same camera , same orientation The results can be seen here http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/ If you just want to access the video.... ( 1 mb gif ) then simply go here : http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/issjune8b.gif Despite putting myself right on centre line , the track indicates I was off by a 100 metres or so , possibly due to the data used being a few hours old. Again , apologies for the poor quality pictures....but I was shooting at just 1/100th sec for ISS to "burn" through the cloud layers. Now then......where are those simultaneous transit images from Europe ?????
