Mercury Transit

Despite lots of haze and wind I did manage to get some good views of the transit which was very favourably placed for viewers in Europe.
The image is not very sharp due to haze and the wind blowing the scope around. Mercury is the spot left of center on the lower half of the image.
I used a Skywatcher 90mm Mak Cass with a Canon 450D at prime focus.
