Scientific paper
I present observations of the 1999 November 15 Mercury transit of the Sun made in the light of hydrogen-alpha from the Prairie View Solar Observatory (PVSO). In addition, I downloaded a number of images made by the TRACE (Transient Region And Coronal Explorer) satellite in the white light, ultraviolet, and far-ultraviolet parts of the spectrum to compare the visibility of Mercury and the historic black-drop effect in multiple wavelengths, Earth- and space-based. Although the observations were made with professional equipment in a professional setting, today's amateurs are fully capable of duplicating these observations, and are strongly encouraged to make detailed, multi-wavelength observations of the upcoming Venus transits.
