Mercury (IR) 2013-09-14 (with WinJUPOS comparison)
While continuing my ongoing Venus project, I imaged Mercury low in the west yesterday at around 6pm local time. The seeing was pretty poor, but the IR filter improves things.

Here is a stack of 7200/12000 drizzled 1.5x, rather heavily sharpened then scaled by a further 1.333x to bring out some features.

Equipment is C11 + 2.5x Powermate + Photometric I filter + DMK21AU04.AS camera.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming elongation.
