Nope. But that's not to say I wouldn't go though. :laugh:

Hi,

Our second Transit of Venus (June 2012) is now only two years and a bit away!

Has anybody decided what equipment to image it. I found the last time, too small an image scale left something to be desired, I was using 420mm focal length. Maybe it was just that I was still using film(!), but digital should be better with a shorter focal length. How times have changed!

John
