Re: [APML] Venus transit time

Thanks Jerry

I should have looked closer to home, why I skipped our planetarium I
don't know.
I may try and do a few shots from the parking lot at work at around 6:45
and if I luck out I might be able to frame an aircraft on approach in
the shot. I'll do my main shooting from a hill overlooking one of the
highways leading in to Montreal.

George

Clear skies and good health
