Circumstances were difficult.
Poor seeing,strong winds and clouds. I could collect 4 AVI’s
and the longest contained only 2000 frames.
Using hand selection I obtained about 100 good frames.
After some cautious processing,
I obtained this image showing a brighter spot at the same location
where I detected a bright spot on 20 and 22 May 2020: the rayed crater Kuiper.

My first image of Mercury very distracted by bad seeing.
From the comparison with the map of WinJUPOS software,
the Kuiper crater is recognizable,among other things.
Seeing: 1/5   Trans.: 8/10
