    Mercury passing the sun

    Well today if you look up in the sky and you can see the sun , Mercury will past across the face today,
    They say the best time is from midday, but be careful DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN ,
    I will try to get some pictures if possible , i doubt it though even with the best filters its going to be hard, but you have to try,

    I tried to see it, but even looking through my lens with the camera at full magnification I couldn't see it either.
    Mercury is so small and the sun so bright, I think it was always going to be difficult to see.
