Transit of Mercury. On November 11, 2019, Mercury crossed the face of the Sun over a period of more than 5 hours. The skies in Connecticut were clear at first, but clouds thickened when Mercury was about half way across the Sun. While it was still clear, Joe Trerotola obtained the two images below.

Below is a sequence of two images by Jim Mazur taken about 85 minutes apart. He used a hand-held Canon camera at the eyepiece of a Personal Solar Telescope (PST).
