Description

Animation of two Mercury images, taken with remotely operated 1 m telescope in Chile.

Not the best seeing conditions, so the images are rather scarcely detailed. However, three ray crater systems are clearly seen as bright spots near the limb (Amaral, Enwonwu and Eastman craters), as well as Caloris Planitia can be spotted as a pale spot at the northern part of the planet (South is up).

Joined result with Astronominsk team.
