An attempt at the Transit of Mercury

A number of years ago (about three or four in fact) I set my Canon XT up on a tripod and captured the Transit of Venus. Today was the Transit of Mercury. Sadly I didn't have the gear I needed to capture it... oh well.

My failed attempt, however, did result in something kinda cool.

Of course, part of my problem was that I was only two hours late in getting the shot (thought it was going until 7:00pm). But, never fear, I only have to wait until 11 November 2019!
