in this November 11th, I had to migrate to (small) Britain to have less clouds than at home.
here are my acquisitions made during that afternoon with the fs60 equipped with its sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm on staradventurer
we start with a little animation between 12h35 UT and 12h37 UT: I was at the cleat for 13h35m35s, the expected time of the first contact.... I had forgotten a small detail: the first contact is calculated for the photosphere (white light) and not for the chromosphere (halpha)!
And so, by triggering my first film at 13:35m06s, well, mercury had already entered the chromosphere
version xvid ( 6 Mo ) :

I then made films by juggling between the cloudy passages which gives a string of Mercury on the sun, anything but regular
I took the 13h45 UT sun as a reference for the background.
animation of the transit youtube version:
but less compressed here in xvid (50% - 70Mb):

Note that for the 16h13 UT one it was really close to the horizon, the sun setting at 16h33 UT.
A last one at 14h45 HL with the protuberances:

however I wish I had travelled to where you were as you got some amazing images compared to my 15 seconds worth, well done
