Skies changed from clear blue to hazy whitish blue after four nice days in germany. Snapped elusive Mercury in daylight again and took videos with about 20.000 frames each. Attached ist the best result, this time compared to a simulation taken from Guide 9, which was blurred about that much as the planets resolution would have appeared in my telescope. You find a nice similarity in details in the image, which still ist quite surprising to me, as the seeing was very unstable and sometimes simply a catastrophe. Great respect to those fantastical software which is able to pick out an image out of this flirring mess I saw at the live screen.
