Doc Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 What a shame it's only from the Southern Hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 What a shame it's only from the Southern Hemisphere. I thought we got the last hour of it at sunrise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I saw the 2004 one - projected on white card with binocs strapped to a chair back lol - it was really quite awsome - worth getting up for the last 50 mins if you can rise early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah I read that we can just see it at sunrise and sunset, think I read it in S@N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 yes it is visible from Europe except parts of Spain a portugal ! I'm thinking of watching it (weather permitting) from the beach we are north east facing so should get a great unobstructed view from there. I will pop down a few days before to make sure the sun is where I think it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was looking at a website last night and it states it's only a southern transit. I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
