Transit of Mercury

This is the end of the transit, hint of prominences visible, taken at 7.31pm, only 9 deg above horizon. I'd headed north to avoid clouds, ended up at Leicester Forest East services on M1. 700 frames from ZWO ASI-120MM-S using 70mm refractor and Quark. Tracked using Astrotrac. Processed with AS2, Registax & Faststone.
