TOM from Wiltshire in White Light

[PhotoGav]

Rushed home when I realised that it wasn't going to be a total cloud out and managed to grab a couple of shots before it was a total cloud out!

These are as out of the camera (Canon EOS 1Dx on Celestron EdgeHD 800 with 0.7x Reducer and White Light Solar Filter):

 

 

 

Happy viewing to those lucky folks who have clear skies!

Well done Gav,

I'm in Wilts too, I set up without any expectations, but come 12:10 a Window of Opportunity appeared.

I was planning to take more grabs at 1320, 1420 etc, but doesn't look good.

Thank you folks. I am happy to at least have a record of this event and it is my first ever image of Mercury!

I have spent the afternoon watching the rain out of the window while doing my end of year accounts... Yawn, yawn...!
