Here is a picture of the transit of Mercury I took with a Nikon COOLPIX 6200 camera:



It was taken looking through this telescope:



Mercury is in the red square.

Magnification is unknown. The approximate location is from N latitude 38.869382 & longitude -104.761215. The time is in Mountain Standard Time.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
