Dear all Mercury observers-
Mercury was imaged July 11th at 15:50 UT (just over an hour ago) .
I was home today for a personal reason.
But the sky was crystal blue and I took a chance to image Mercury at
12 degrees away from the sun.
 Mercury displays a beautiful fat gibbous with possible dark albedo
features like Solitudo Aphrodites to the north (toward the terminator)
 and Solitudo Argiphontas little to the south (near the limb).
Also a possible bright area just south of the center could be Pieria.
I will add this to my montage.

    More later...
