Five days ago I received a notice that the space station would transit across the face of the Sun for my location. I wrote about a recent transit on 18 August 2016. I must be living right. The sky was clear again this time.
First view is in real time. Don’t blink. Duration of the transit is 0.94s. Second view is slowed to 10% of real time. For both, I suggest full screen. You might not see it on a phone or tablet.
What’s up for the rest of the month? This JPL video will tell you of some highlights.
How I See It 
Hi Jim, again what a wonderful capture! You are making this look easy (which it is not)! I could imagine you are glued to your TV tonight (go Cubs). Where did you take your header photo. It looks very much like the mountains around here. Bob
We took the lift up at Banff to get that shot. Beautiful sight.
Lovely shot Jim. I haven’t been on that lift, but I thought the area looked familiar. Banff is only an hour and a half travel from here.
Thank you. We drove near your area on our way from Canmore to the panhandle of Idaho.
If you are ever back this way look me up and we’ll go looking for some clear skies.
I will do that for sure.
Dam! That sure took a long time – 108 yrs + 10 innings + 17 min rain delay. As Tom Skilling says in his forecast (Chicago’s WGN-TV weatherman) “Hell is now freezing over!!!”
Ha Ha! That was an exciting final game. Maybe my Toronto Maple Leafs can end their drought now.
Thanks for the video, good info.
I envy you about your knowledge in Astrology. I would like to try such photos. But it is not easy. Thanks for the very interesting topic. bilere
