Mercury transit 2016

The morning started clear but there was a fair amount of cloud around midday. Fortunately it all cleared again by about 2pm and there was plenty of chance to image with the Coranado PST and in white light with a Meade 125mm Maksutov. Images showing prominences are a combination of 2 exposures. A long one for the prominence and a short one for the disk.
