The Sun and the planet Mercury

On 05/28/2024 01:40 pm by Steven Bellavia| Mattituck, NY

I took two separate images of the Sun and the planet Mercury, within seconds of each other, and put them together.
It's not to any scale.

TS-Optics Photoline 115mm, f/7 triplet apo refractor
ZWO ASI 294MM Pro camera, cooled to -10X
SkyWatcher EQ6R Pro equatorial mount

used the best 10% of several thousand frames for Mercury, and the best 50% of 360 frames for the sun
