Equipment Details:

Celestron C5 SCT, ZWO ASI 533MC Pro, SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro

Post-processing Details:

0.005 second exposures, registered and stacked in RegiStax

Image Details:

This is a not-to-scale collage of three objects that were all in the sky today, imaged around noon:
29% illuminated Mercury, The sun with sunspot AR2765 showing, and 0.9% illuminated Venus.
This is sort of their relative positions in the sky, and th image is made more for fun than an accurate representation.
