From the backyard in Tempe, I used a Lunt 100 H-alpha scope, deliberately
single-stacked to best show the chromosphere as a layer along the rim,
took sets of 500 video frames, having the software pick out the best 300
for
stacking. This is the end of the series, showing the egress of Mercury
across the chromosphere. Seeing was all over the place, as evidenced by
the
large variations in sharpness from frame to frame.
