Easy shot of Mercury Transit




Transit of Mercury was visible on November 9th, 2006. (JST)
It was a clear day. The sun rose with the Mercury spot on it.


I knew it was the day but all the equatorial mounts were in the car.
Besides, I did not feel well on the morning of that day.


Of course Mercury is too small to see with your naked eyes.
So, I took a video camera and a tripod, that were at hand.


I did not mean to record but, it was a camera and it would become off automatically if it was not used for recording.
And here are the photos captured from the video.


Sorry for the poor photos.
