Mercury Transit 11 Nov 2019
(versión en ingles)

CESAR organized a SPECIAL EVENT on the 11 November, 2019. Transit started at 13:35 local time in ESAC, Spain, 12:35 in UTC. Sunset was around 17:59. Transit ended at 18:03 aprox. 

Despite the cloudy weather, CESAR team was able to capture images both in visible light and H-alpha from ESAC. Please note that all images are taken through some clouds, and therefore their sharpness and contrast is not as if with a clear sky. Full results can be found here.

Next Mercury transit will be in 2032.

 

Mercury at 12:50 UTC. Camera Canon 550D and 8" Celestron telescope.

 

Mercury at 15:22 (left narrow h-alpha, right visible light) from the ESA Solar Observatory HELIOS.

 

Our greatest thanks to the CESAR team that made possible this event, and to the ESAC Astronomy Club that also set two telescopes for visual observations through eyepieces.
