wmhoodphoto 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Mercury passing between the Earth and Sun. A five hour event. Every 10 minutes I made a series of multiple bracketed exposures with a Takahashi 4-inch refractor and a solar filter. The final images were composited in Photoshop. The dark colorations near the edges are massive sunspots. Thanks for viewing! Link to comment

stp 6 Posted August 2, 2008 This is a realm of photography in which I will never participate but which I greatly admire. Very nicely done. Link to comment
billkantor 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Very cool and educational. I really appreciate this image. Just showed this to my 17 year-old daughter who was blown away. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Bill Link to comment
