Solar Transit Of Mercury- November 15, 1999.
Late one afternoon in November of '99, we here on the West Coast were treated to a fascinating event not seen too terribly often in a lifetime... the planet Mercury crossing the face of the sun. It was a nice treat to simply drag a scope out of the garage and see something special. Usually observing sites are much less convenient.
DS-16 with 6" aperture mask. Thousand Oaks Type II solar filter. Olympus OM-1 and Kodachrome 64 emulsion.

Digital Neighborhood
Click on the label for Mars, Jupiter or Saturn to see my ongoing attempts at imaging each of these neighbors. Images of planets Mercury and Venus are coming soon (I need to wait for better astronomical geometry to get clearer shots of them).
