Two of the four observers present witnessed the transit. Both used small refractors. A third observer using a small refractor the transit. I tried to record the transit with my 10" dob and a Meade electronic eyepiece. The observed track was a few minutes of arc above the predicted track (it was supposed to track just above Tycho) and out of my FOV. Time to get a focal length reducer.
