Hi Chris
That is a very nice afocal image under difficult conditions – well done!
Hmm, it seems someone forgot to read the IIS “How to image Mercury” article at:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.p...63,337,0,0,1,0
which suggests:
“Viewing a notebook display and trying to focus on a small black dot will be nigh impossible in full daylight, so shield the notebook computer from bright daylight. I plan to use my portable observing hutch which has a curtain, making the inside reasonably dark. You can use a deep cardboard box. Make sure the open end of the box is facing away from the Sun”.
Cheers
