Scientific paper

The accompanying images of Mercury were obtained on the morning of 2006 August 19, during a short interval of good seeing. The telescope used was a 10-inch (250mm) Orion Optics (UK) Newtonian on a Vixen GP-DX mount, coupled with a Tele Vue ?5 Powermate to give a sufficiently large image scale. The camera was an ATIK 1 HS II black & white webcam, with a Baader IR-pass filter transmitting wavelengths longer than 685nm. Five movie files in .avi format were recorded over a half-hour period, after which the seeing deteriorated. The observations were made in full daylight: the dark background results from clipping the histogram during processing of the stacked images.
