I see very little reporting of this except for the photo imaging forum (I have enclosed Paul Maxsons fine photo inage from the photo forums above) and see Spaceweather today. Someone tell me that I could not have seen this in Portland Oregon last night.

Quite a few more Titan shadow events coming: http://tinyurl.com/bs5mb5 Cheers, Jim Post Extras:       markseibold Carpal Tunnel Reged: 01/19/08 Loc: Portland Oregon Re: Did We Miss Titans Transit of Saturn Last Night?

I thought perhaps the transit event of Titan would make for a good sketching exercise for many of us. I'll copy your calendar info link. Looks like 12:30 UT coming up on March 28th would be 5:30 AM pacific Daylight time? Just barely into morning dawn light for the west coast.
