I actually did see about 2 seconds worth. Oh well, there's always 2016. -Walter Branch ________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matson, Robert" <ROBERT.D.MATSON_at_saic.com> To: <sterling_k_webb_at_sbcglobal.net> Cc: <meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 4:16 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] OT -- Mercury Transit Hi Sterling, Fortunately, we've got an 8" S-C out with a solar filter here at work, so I've been able to follow the progress of the transit just fine outdoors. I was just hoping to see the greater detail afforded by a "big" scope... --Rob -----Original Message----- From: sterling_k_webb_at_sbcglobal.net [mailto:sterling_k_webb_at_sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 1:05 PM To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Cc: tracy latimer; Matson, Robert Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] OT -- Mercury Transit Hi, I suspect overwhelmed servers. I got several "Server Not Available" messages. But the rest of the sites I tried just rolled over and died. I guess it's nice that more people than one might have thought wanted to watch a live celestial event. I hope the servers didn't just fail and somebody got to see it. Sterling K.
