Transit of Mercury
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2019 7:02 pmThere's a little black spot on the Sun today...
Viewing conditions:
St. Paul, MN
17F, windchill at 0
We had cloudy skies from sunrise until about 8am, then about a half hour clear skies, cloudy until about 9:15, then it cleared up.
We have telescopes set up for the duration of the transit, until noon. When I went in around 10:30, we had counted over 100 visitors. People love astronomy in the Twin Cities! Some parents are excusing their children to arrive late to school to see it.
This picture was taking with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, through a 10" Dobsonian telescope.

I saw the one in 2016 though.
