Given the interest in Tom's recent Mercury image, I thought I would post these two images taken a week or so ago.
Both taken during daylight with a DMK21 camera, the first on 16th July with a 150mm SCT at f/10, through an a #21 Orange filter, the second on 21st July with a 279mm SCT at f/10 through a #25 Red filter.
These are stacks of around 3500 frames. In both cases the seeing was very unsteady, but the hint of surface detail visible is encouraging.
