Thanks guys. This was made out of the best 150 frames from 10,000 frames (640x480 at 50fps). The atmospheric refraction at 18 deg elevation was nothing compared to 30min earlier when Mercury was 11 deg above the horizon. I've attached singles frames from both times.

I had to start work at 5:30 so I was backing out the car while making the .mov of Mercury. It took 2 minutes to put away the Dob and camera and I was away.
