Mercury transiting the Sun, taken with a Canon T3i camera through an Orion 8" f/5 Newtonian telescope with Baader solar filter, May 9, 2016. Plenty of clouds were passing overhead, but now and then I had enough of a chance to catch the planet through them. Nice sunspot group above, too. To see the full image, click here.

I'm glad you got to see the transit. I almost missed it, but the sky cleared enough here for me to get a few shots. I'm going to post a picture on my blog later on this evening.
I'll keep a lookout. I wish we could have got together for this one, and you could teach me better techniques. We need to go do some imaging, my friend!
