Transit of Mercury

Had a few enjoyable hours today watching our smallest planet cross the solar disc. These aren't the greatest pics but in my excitement I managed to mislay the adapter for my slr so these are just free hand shots through my telescope eye piece using my phone
Sorry but you have to scroll the photo down a bit to see the planet, it's at about half threeish and to the right of the larger sunspot nearer the centre of the sun. Apologies again for being incapable of managing to show the whole of the shot in the frame
