May 20 - Annular Solar Eclipse. The path of annularity will begin in southern China and move east through Japan, the northern Pacific Ocean, and into the western United States. A partial eclipse will be visible throughout parts of eastern Asia and most of North America.

Tuesday for the United States.

Tuesday around 5:00 pm Central is first contact and it lasts just over 6 hours... well past sunset. That's Wednesday about midnight Central European Time. Sorry Borek. You should be able to follow it via GLORIA though.

If not for the weather it should be visible here around sunrise.

I just checked and I seem to have misplaced my welders' glass. May have to go buy another...

finally got my camera and solar filter mated to the scope, now all I need is for this contineous rain to disappear.

Transit starts, here in Sydney, at 08:09 eastern Australia time (local time) ~ 1 hour after sunrise and goes through to ~ 14:44 hrs local time

cheers

It's here! Just snapped a photo of it through my homemade Carton 60mm f16.7. I used a Scopetronix Maxview 40mm eyepiece equipped with a Baader Contrast Booster filter attached to my Sony F717. 1/1000 sec a f8 afocally with Baader Solar Film. Levels, resizing, unsharp mask using Photoshop 7.

Great. I've been looking forward to seeing this for the past week, but it began to rain before it got here, so I can't see it. Good thing I've got this.

I got some pictures last time around. Lucky because the viz was rubbish this morning. This time, everyone seems to have made much more of it. I guess it has more public relevance in the light of extra-solar planet hunting interest.

Hi, this is a photo from Hungary (Fényi Gyula Observatory, Miskolc), between the third and fourth contact of the Venus transit.
MEADE APO EMC 152/1370 with Baader solar filter + CANON EOS 1000D 1/1250 exposure time with ISO200.

It was quite cloudy, but finally we managed to see the end of the transit with the schoolboys here.

The annual perseids meteor shower is coming up real fast the weekend of the 11 and 12 of August. The shower is known for good high counts of meteors 60+ per hour and often leaving persistant several second and occassionally "smokey" trails
