Images of Mercury & Venus from 2003 & 2004
Hello,

I dug up a couple of old images of the Mercury Transit of May 2003 and the Venus Transit of June 2004 and overlaid them to compare the sizes of the planetary discs against the Sun. Both images are severely vignetted as I was using a consumer Minolta DiMage 7Hi afocally. It is quite an interesting size comparison.

Cheers

Dennis
