About this image

A gibbous Mercury imaged in average seeing, although some data was lost due to cloud and to wind moving the telescope. 1800 frames selected from 210000 were used for the image, which was processed in PIPP, Autostakkert!3 and Registax. A WinJupos comparison image with suitable blurring shows good agreement in the main features.
