Mercury transit across sun disc - 09 May 2016

There was a rare phenomena in the sky. The Sun, Mercury and our planet were in a straight line. The result is a freckle on the Sun.

There was cloudy and raining during the whole observing. Suddenly the Sun appeared through a gap among the clouds for only for 4 minutes. So I have got only one picture. However, I saw it...
