Mercury Transit of the Sun November 11, 2006

Rafter M Ranch - Hockley, Texas

This was my FIRST attempt of the Mercury transit with my Canon Rebel.  I was using my Sky 90 on the NJP mount, with a Thousand Oaks Filter.  I was using the following setting:  Shudder Speed 800, ISO 400 and didn't get the detail I was looking for.   All the below images were processed in Photo Shop or Rigistax.
This was the second attempt with the same sitting, but a little different processing in Photo Shop
Here I slowed by shutter speed down to 500, and my film ISO down to 200.
