Transit of Mercury

The original intention was to make a time lapse video of the event, but obviously, because we can't control the weather for even one single day, event was just above the lowest expectations.

Will say up front: we've seen it.

We set even two telescopes with solar filters. However, as you can see, day was extremely cloudy and partially rainy.

Sometimes, cloud's became thinier and we could see a little dot on the surface of the Sun for just couple of seconds. That was just enough to make a picture through the eyepiece by little old tiny crappy camera.

Clouds uncover the Sun and then cover it back again so quickly and unpredictable that there was no any slide possibility to mount bigger camera, set it up and focus to make a batter picture.

That is probably the best picture I've had:

And here is just a little video to show what was really going on and how difficult it was to fight the cloud.
