It was November 11, 2019
I heard about transit of Mercury across the Sun, so i went to a high altitude place because in Tehran,Iran the transit started just few minutes before sunrise and the sun goes down of the horizon.

So... here it is.
You can see a small black dot in the north west of the Sun, that's the Mercury!

But the main advantages of taking these picture for me was that i have not any sun or ND filters to reduce the Sun light and i had to increase the f-number to the maximum and that cause lower sharpness of the lens and that makes seeing Mercury so hard.
