Details:
Awesome to be able to view a such a rare cosmic event (about 13 times a century) live! Mercury is upper right in the wide-angle photo and is dwarfed by the sunspots towards the lower left. The second image captures Mercury just as it is about to 'touch' the edge of the sun at the end of the transit.
