Mercury "Contact" (Half in/out really!)

Hmmm...  What might have been? Through a 30sec gap in thickening cloud!
But better than (the expected) nothing!

Nice capture, given the conditions.

Nice that you caught it!

My colleague tried to take a picture with his phone through my scope. But it only gave glares. I will let my HB take a picture with his telelens when I come home from work and can give him the solar filter.

I was looking to high when contact was first made, thanks for sharing.

Nice one Chris.  Pity about the cloud.

Heheh... I suspect with good weather and together we'd have made a great TEAM?  

Clouds are still scudding across... Time for some less serious "Spot the Ball" maybe?

 

Think I'll try a bit of modest focal reduction next, just for a lark...
