Mercury Transit of Sun... Woe is me!!!

[Altocumulus]

Cheers for the post, just found out about, how long dose the transit take, can I see it in Australia? Would it be best to use a barlow, i just have a refractor with thousand Oaks filter and a badder Continuum filter

This suggests :sorry: Not in Australia ....

What times are we expecting it to be hidden behind our clouds in the UK Geoff ?????

I get the impression it's going to be too close to sunset and way too low on the horizon to even think about it!

From the UK's longitude we will see all of the first half of the transit:

In Scotland the sun is always near the horizon!

Due to the position of the Sun I won't see it until shortly before sunset so things seem to be against observing it, let alone imaging.
