Observing Notes
from the Tuckahoe Irregulars
I was out at 6 AM in Sandtown, and the fog worked to my advantage. From 6 AM to about 6:25 I was able to photograph the transit, before the sun rose above the fog and became too bright for my camera to image even at f/45 and 1/4000. I didn't have any sun-observing equipment, so when I started to get big green spots in my eyes even through a polarizing filter and two pair of sunglasses, I quit.
Here's a sample, from about 6:05 AM.
