Dr. Ski, I hope you have plans to get in on next month's events. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weat...that-you-wont-want-to-miss-in-november/609311 I'm looking forward to seeing your photos of these events.
Unfortunately, the Mercury transit across the Sun will not be visible from our hemisphere (the Sun will not be out during this time). In years past, I have captured both Mercury and Venus transits. They are pretty cool! The Leonids seldom disappoint. Provided it's not cloudy, I expect to catch several meteors on long exposures. This is a meteor shower that's worth waking up early to watch. I am looking forward to the Jupiter-Venus conjunction! Jupiter is leaving and Venus is taking it's place dominating the Evening sky. For the next 8 months!
