Mercury is Tiny!

Uncategorized November 11, 2019

This first photo is from 7:44 AM EST, shortly after the transit started. I saw both of the Venus transits (well, the second one was mostly clouded out, but that’s another story). Mercury is so much smaller. With Venus a filtered pair of binoculars at a mere 10X was enough to pick out Venus. I have to zoom in to find Mercury. It feels like “where’s Waldo.”

And yes, this was edited after the first post to correct the orientation.
