Dear Thomas,
Following one of the links on your page which includes a
detailed analysis, I am delighted to learn that Greece MAY be in the
path of a simultaneous Venus and ISS transit. My intention is to image
the transit in h-alpha and, hopefully, it will provide a rare view of an
ISS transit not in white light but h-alpha which I believe will be
something new as well.
In the event you plan to follow this unique opportunity for a
simultaneous transit further for specific regions in the world, I would
be most grateful if you can keep me informed.
Thanks!
Anthony.
