Transit of Mercury

[Kenny]

Here are the 2 most usable images from my DSLR captures during oh so brief breaks in the clouds. DSLR 450D with Sigma DC 18-200mm lens @ full zoom with home made Baader film solar filter.

Active Region (Sun spot group) AR2542 also showing upper right.

12:20pm just after 2nd contact (first decent break in the clouds).


14:48pm.


Not bad considering no telescope.

Oh wow! That's brilliant.

Thanks Jonathan. Not bad for a DSLR. I've prefer if it was Venus crossing the disc tho!
