Hi What i was meaning ( and i should have been clearer in my first email) was a meridian line like in some European cathedrals. If you look at the top middle picture on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jmikeshaw/page16.html You can see the projected image of the sun during a partial eclipse. I had a sudden thought as to whether there was something like this on the east coast of Australia which might make a photo different from all the other transit photos Thanks for the help Ian

Attraction - Historical Sites and Heritage Locations, Natural Attractions This particular meridian is the basis of the Eastern Australian Standard Time, used in Queensland, New South Wales (except Broken Hill), Victoria and Tasmania. The 150 Degrees East Meridian crosses the Oxley Highway 34 kilometres south-west of Gunnedah. Methods of measuring time have varied over the ages, but the time unit most commonly employed has been the apparent daily circuit of the sun, from which solar time is derived.
