After considerable post-processing I was able to salvage one image of the transit of Mercury. So, nothing to write home about, but alas, I can say that I did get to photograph the event.
This was taken with my QHY10 astro-camera through my EdgeHD11 telescope and Baader solar filter. The exposure was 0.005 seconds. Post processing with PixInsight, Registax and PSP.
Mercury is the small black dot just to the lower left of center. There is a large sunspot group just above center.
