Venus transit 5 June 2012

[MarkS]

I'm in Dordogne, ready to drive through tomorrow night to an (as yet undecided) location.

[Rick]

Southgate ARN has a list of nandy sites sould you find your location clouded out (or in darkness) but have a Net connection...

Mick, you were 24 hours too early!!!  This thread has a confusing title.

I'm thinking Brittany/Normandy for tomorrow a.m.

Carole put the wrong date on the thread. It is tomorrow morning, the 6th.

It was me and the Transit starts on the 5th... Just 'cos we are in a cloudy country too far off the track to see it all doesn't mean the date is wrong !!!)

Good luck to all who are travelling to see the transit

[Rocket Pooch]

Nice and clear here, we have just stopped watching it, pop quiz how many astro photographers does it take to image the transit?

[Rick]

Gaps in cloud allowed tail end of transit from just before 3rd contact to be seen from Orpington...
