Getting ready for the Astronomical event of the year!

Just in case it isn't cloudy and pouring with rain all day on Monday: here's my set up for photographing the transit of Mercury. I'm sure you all know: you absolutely must not look through a telescope / binoculars / camera at the Sun (unless you have a thing for white sticks and Labradors!) The white screen on the back of the telescope provides a shadow to enhance the image of the Sun....

Fingers crossed for Monday afternoon!
