Jeff Reynolds captured the MVAS at the Waterville Public Library on Monday to see 
Mercury transit across the Sun

Jody Hildreth also caught some great captures that he "stitched together."
"I took three photos at 7:41 am, 9:02 am, and 10:43 am.This was not an easy process, and fortunately I had a little experience from photographing the transit of Venus four years ago. I used a Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 400mm f5.6 lens and a Sigma 2x teleconverter.  I attached a Variable Neutral Density Filter as well as handheld a second Neutral Density filter in front of the lens.  I shot in manual mode at ISO 100, f28, 1/8000 sec.  I stitched the three photos using Photoshop Elements 13."

- WEATHER - ***** - VILLAGE NOTES - Click for webpage with Full Notes  from Trustee Nichols Also from Trustee Nichols, an update on speed in the village. Data has again been retrieved from the Village's radar speed signs. The portable sign has been placed on NYS315 for the past 3 weeks. I have noticed first-hand that this sign's presence has made a huge difference in slowing vehicles down coming into the village. Reminder that the sign records data at the time the vehicle passes the sign, not when the vehicle first registers on the sign. Buell Ave (Route 315), from March 11 - April 1. Traveling into the village: Total vehicles: 22,424 0 - 30 MPH: 11,715 (52.24%) 31 - 35 MPH: 4,431 (19.76%) 36 - 40 MPH: 3,022 (13.48%) 41 - 45 MPH: 1,891 (8.43%) 46 - 65 MPH: 1,365 (6.09%) - Some of these vehicles were moving over 75 MPH.
