Here in Toronto, we were most fortunate to have a clear night ... right up until the start of the triple transit at 1:28 this morning whence clouds started rolling in.  I got a brief 90s clear window to obtain some data.

Collimation is slightly off which is why the shadows and moons are not circular and while seeing was pretty good, I probably shouldn't have pushed the focal length to nearly nine meters in order to get this size of image.


I wonder if I'll be around to attempt this again in 2032?
