Re: Mercury ...
Here's mine from 4/28 - not nearly as nice as Sebastian's! I was somewhat hampered by smoke from a nearby wildfire, plus it's a couple of days before its prime.
Stellarvue ED80/480
Canon EOS 6D
Edmund Optics 589/10 nm bandpass filter
Mercury moved enough with respect to the stars that I actually used comet mode in Deep Sky Stacker - hence a bit of star trailing.
Definitely some really nice physics in this.
