Mercury transiting the Sun 11-11-19

Posted in Astrophotography, Solar, Sony A7III on November 11, 2019 by budbranch

Not to be seen again from North America until 2032, planet Mercury is passing between Earth and the Sun this morning – see the tiny black spot above and right of center?  Not a naked-eye event!  A filter is required to stop  potentially harmful solar radiation, (note my setup).

70-200mm @ 200, f/13 ISO 200, 1/8,000th sec w/solar filter
