Today (9 May 2016) I tried to capture a transit of Mercury across the Sun.
This is the best picture obtained during the session (I used Canon EOS 600D with EF-S 55-250mm IS II on a tripod. A solar filter was made from BAADER AstroSolar film.
An initial sequence of 60 frames captured between 15:16 and 15:18 (UT+3) was processed by PIPP, then 18 frames were selected manually; 50% of them (9 frames) were stacked using AutoStakkert2. Postprocessing was performed in AstraImage (deconvolution etc.).
(Sun orientation is arbitrary)
