Mercury is passing the sun disk
May ask yourself, which
picture can bring this over dimensional sun "volcanism" together
with the gates of our inner earth.

This fascinating shot is part
of a project of the Baader Planetarium. It was taken by Martin Rietze,
M. Riesch and A. Baader with a Zeiss APQ 100/600 SolarSpektrum 0.5 A.

The drop phenomena

It seems that mercury will
not loose himself from the sun edge. May one reason is the
sunlight-bending at the planet surface. By forcing up the contrast in
this image, it may was possible to show this known phenomene.

point near the center is a sun - spot
Photos are
taken with a Siberia 150mm Newton Reflektor, on Fuji color ASA 400, Bel.
1/500 sec, aquivalent focal distance about 4000mm. Advice: Because of
aethetic reasons I deprivated the grey and blue color which is caused by
the sun foil.

Thanks to Hans Kraus and my
brother Thilo. They supplied me with food and drinks to avoid a heat
delirium on this moskito hill in Germerswang.
