Here is an image of Mercury recorded on Saturday afternoon at IR 742nm. I imaged at 807nm as well,but,maybe due to the longer exposure necessary,the results were less sharp. There is a prominent bright spot S of the equator towards the limb. I have measured this position using WinJUPOS,and it corresponds to long 33,lat -12. This agrees well enough with the position of the brilliant ray crater Kuiper (long 31.5 lat -11.5),the brightest spot on Mercury.[David Arditti: Edgware Middlesex HA8 5LW: United Kingdom]
