Inspired by Chris's efforts I finished off my animated gif of 3rd & 4th contact. Unlike Chris's it covers only the last 25mins of the transit. File size is 650kb so be warned. Link is:

Click on the SUN button to get to the animation.
Cheers, John.
PS - This was quite hard to animate as there was a lot of jumping between the frames.
Nice one John.
