Mercury transit 11th November 2019 - a photo on Flickriver

Mercury transit 11th November 2019

            At the start of the transit it didn't look as if i was going to see very much. But I got lucky and the clouds broke about 15 minutes into it. I only had time to take single frames as the clouds were virtually constant.

Telescope was Altair Astro ED110 using a white light filter.
The camera was ASI178MM. which is a mono camera. False colour added in Photoshop (Duocolour 8bit)

Captured using SharpCap software

Although I was very pleased to capture this (my second Mercury transit) in all honesty I am slightly disappointed in that I wasn't able to use by Solar telescope. I did try to set it up but I was unable to see any granulation. If anybody has any suggestions on why the LUNT LS60THa wont seem to sharpen the solar detail please let me know.
