Here are selected pictures I took of the Mercury transit between about 7:00 am and 2:45 pm on May 9, 2016. It was the first Mercury transit I have ever photographed although I observed the May 9, 1970 and the November 10, 1973 transits. This transit was also the first transit I was able to see from start to finish. Go here to view a Flash animation of photos I took of this transit. Details on past Mercury transits may be found here.
