I have seen it naked eye at Kelling Heath in Norfolk approx 6 years ago. I was in my mid 70s at the time. I suspect rural Wales is darker than Kelling so Uranus should be easier.

Thank you Dominic. I am not sure that I was very clear. Each time I image the Sun, I use Tilting Sun software to indicate how much the Sun appears tilted from the Earth’s point of view. A day or two ago the Sun went from tilting to the left through zero and is now very slightly tilting to the right. It was at perihelion on January 3 when the apparent tilt of the Sun was zero. I wondered if that was coincidence or not.

I am so sorry to hear about Roger. He very kindly encouraged and supported me in variable star observing.

Thanks Nick. Took me a little while to see what you meant as I’m not really a PI user but it worked fine.

Thanks Michael. Was your transit expected or did you see it by chance? Which ever it was likely very exciting.

Thanks Jeremy. I did try to produce a composite image using the above as background but couldn’t get it to look right. I might try again just using the video frames. That may not work because of the wobble in the atmosphere.
