Transit of Mercury Underway

by Mike Delaney

Nice and clear here in Berkeley.

Pretty clear in South San Francisco too.

I had my 5" Mak-Cass setup for about an hour at lunchtime and after the 4th passerby asked me if I could take pictures through it, I remembered I had my camera in the car. I snapped about 20 shots, just holding it up to the eyepiece. This one came out the best:

Clip the ' small' out of the filename for the full-size image.
