Is it still going to be visible from SPOC? Cory and I want to give it a try. Is anyone planning to get together for it? Thanks, Joe ------------------------------ On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 6:19 PM MDT Brent Watson wrote:

Has the path shifted to the south?  The way I see it, Calsky now says the transit will cross over downtown Salt Lake City, a few miles south of Bountiful.  What is the latest you have, Patrick?

Wow!  The path centerline is only a few hundred feet from my house!  Gotta watch this.

Hi Brent and Siegfried (and anyone else interested),

I'm not sure if I'll be home Friday afternoon but if I am I'll try to image it from my place which is about 1 km off the centerline but CalSky says the path is a bit over 14 km wide so I should be ok there.  Of bigger concern for me is that the Sun will only be about 19 degrees above the horizon which could be too low for my observatory.

Here's is a map showing the centerline and some other details for the Bountiful area:

Note that the time has changed .73s since Monday's prediction (16h52m43.57s to 16h52m44.30s for my place) so I'm guessing it may change a bit more by Friday.

Good luck,

patrick

Do you have a map of the path? I may attempt to see it.

Thanks, Brent

Is that the center line? Are you setting up for it?

I just received a message from CalSky indicating ISS will transit the Sun this coming Friday at 16h52m43s MDT as seen from along a line stretching from here at SPOC, across the north end of Salt Lake International and on into the south end of Bountiful.

Duration is predicted to be only 2.91s so don't blink.
