In transit sic
Camera: K5ii Photo Location: Reno, Nevada

It was glorious. Mercury transiting the Sun. The small dot near the left edge is Mercury.

Vivitar 28mm F2 'close focusing' lens on a 9" Orion scope.

The small dot on the right side is Mercury. The larger spot on the left side is a sunspot.

Saw this on the news. Even better to see it from a fellow photographer. Very nice!
