Rogers take at the Mercury Transit, from WA

OK, so here's first (and maybe final) bunch of images from the Transit of Mercury. Two in Ha and one in white light.

Ha: Coronado 60mm filter on my Megrez 80, with QuickCam Pro 4000.
White: Baader solar film on my 12" LX200, with 350D.

I have plenty more photo's and video's I haven't processed, but I'm not sure I will. I have enough white light photo's to do a sequence from sunrise (WA) to completion of the transit, shots taken every 3min and then every 10 seconds at the end. But I'm not sure how best to process them in to one.

I've attached the 3 pic's, but they're also at my web site with comments:

Leading up to the day I wasn't confident of a clear morning, with showers around and lots of cloud. Luckily though it was mostly clear for me, except about 7:30 when fog lifted out of the neighbouring valleys, obstructing the view for about 20 minutes.
