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. For more photos and explanations roll down to the

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.

Left: Halftime (ca. 45°
moved on the right side)
Middle: Exit( ca. 45° moved on the right side)
Right exit ( ca. 20° moved on the right side) |
The 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.
