Transit of Mercury 16/11/99
Details: 82mm f/15 home built refractor with Lumicon 1.5 Angstrom Prominence Filter.

A PCB colour camera (inexpensive variety) used at prime focus,
recording on to a Sony Video 8 VCR Monitor/Recorder.
Single video frame digitised with a Miro DC30 Plus capture card as a .bmp file then converted to .jpg.
Of interest with this shot is that the image in H-alpha was still visible through light cloud when the white light image on the main scope was not visible at all.
