More transit of mercury photos
Attached are further photos of the transit, taken around 9:55 a.am. NZDT.
One shows an
enlarged view with the sunspot on the edge of the sun, lower
left,
and Mercury in the top right corner.
The second
picture is the full disc of the sun with the sunspot in the
lower
right and Mercury the tiny spot right of
centre.
Two different telescopes were used, so the orientation of the pictures change.
Photos taken at the
University of Canterbury's Mt John Observatory by Alan
Gilmore and Pam
Kilmartin.
