Thanks.  Unfortunately cloud prevented any sighting at my location.
Frustratingly above  20 degrees the sky was clear and stars were clearly
visible!

I do not know if anyone anywhere picked up on this transit apart from us in
here.  Unfortunately I only realised it with insufficient time to alert
locals and/or the news media.
