Mercury Transit
Plagued by a lot of cloud, but by luck there were a few chinks where I managed to get some images. Here, Mercury is about 2 hours into the transit. Inset: a fluke that I caught Mercury between 1st and 2nd contact, with some cloud.
Imaged using a Fuji X-T1 in continuous mode (burst), 1/1000th sec at 400ASA through an Altair 102mm f/7 Super ED with Baader solar filter, all mounted on a Nexstar 6/8SE Alt-Az mount. RAWs converted to TIFFs in C1, stacked (with some difficulty) in AS!2, and polished in PWPro.
