Q: Will the transit of Venus in a few weeks, be visible at Mars?
Could Oppy (or orbiters) resolve it ??? -------------------- CLA CLL

Welding helmet + binoculars (one eye only, behind the filter)+ break in the clouds = success! Pretty cool naked eye, too.

Beautiful clear day here in Brisbane. Started watching with colleagues this morning. Used binoculars with solar filters. Fantastic sight. Boss brought along his telescope and DSLR. Certainly makes up for the clouded out disappointment of trying to view the transit from Durham back in 2004.
