Transit of Mercury - 9th May 2016

[RachelC]

Hello

This was my second image of the Sun but my first without any help!
I booked a half day leave to get home and image this and my Manager said this was the first time he had approved leave with the reason being "Transit of Mercury".
Taken from Farnborough with my Canon 650d and a 250mm lens and a home made Baader filter (thanks Kenny).
My first sun spot too.
This has been heavily cropped.
Many thanks

Really good capture particularly given how cloudy the day was. Bit clearer than my grainy 200mm image.

Hi Kenny
Thanks, I was so happy to get that small window to see and image the Transit.
