Hi everyone,
Here are the final more or less scientific versions of all those desperate attempts to get some good images of Mercury during the latest weatherwise very uncooperative apparition
.
The first one is:

The end results are in the right column
The second attempt, and the only one made under good conditions:

11 consistent surface features can be determined on these images, don't ask me what they are because nobody knows for sure until Messenger arrives.
The other observations were too unreliable to make official versions out of it, I can send single images out to anyone who is interested. These dates are 2005/04/25, 2005/05/03 and 2005/05/04.
Cheers,
Erwin
