| NOTES |
: |
The entire time Mercury was high in the sky clouds obscured one of the trio. It wasn't until Mercury was almost on the horizon that it cleared enough to get all three items in the shot. However, I had to unhook thec amera from the tracking scope, throw it on a tripod and run 50 yards to get Mercury in between these trees. |
