About this image

Mercury under less than ideal conditions this morning, with poor seeing due to a strong jet stream and passing clouds. Twenty captured videos yielded only 900 frames of usable quality after manual selection from files processed in PIPP and Registax. The stacked and sharpened image nevertheless agrees well with a blurred version of the WinJupos map for the day.
