Transit of Mercury

[Davide Simonetti]

I wasn't sure whether to post these in Solar Imaging, Planetary Imaging or Special Events so apologies if this is in the wrong place. Here are a couple of images of the Transit of Mercury. We were lucky with the weather which allowed us some clear views until about 4pm when cloud and then rain ended the session. Both images are taken from 1000 frame video processed in PIPP, AutoStakkert, Registax and Photoshop.

Equipment:
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
Skywatcher EQ5 Mount
ZWO ASI120 MC imaging camera
