(SNES) Transit of Mercury on Wednesday

["Les Coleman" <les11@cox.net>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone was trying to catch the transit of Mercury on Wednesday. Under
ideal conditions we'll have the last 50+  minutes of the event with the Sun up. Sun rise
(top edge) is at 5:38:57  at FDO with Mercury appearing 13 seconds later. This doesn't
account for atmospheric distortion or (whispering to avoid the attention of the weather
demons) clouds. Mercury reaches the Sun's limb at 6:27:40 and contact is lost at 6:31:50.
My house is uniquely badly placed to see the event (I live in an almost-forest) so I'll be
heading to the beach to get a view if conditions look favorable.

Good luck to all of us who try to catch this event.

Les
