Took this shot of Venus, Mercury and a very young Moon last night here in Plymouth. Mercury was completely invisible to the naked eye, but showed up in the images pretty well.

Just went out to get some pictures of the sunset, couldn't see Mercury at all, not sure if clouds or volcanic particles obscure the view lol

Forgot to mention that my wife & I were in Laughlin, Nevada last weekend & had a gorgeous view of Venus & Mercury over the mountains @ sunset. Didn't bring a camera because I was gambling (seemed unwise to bring things I'd be tempted to pawn...
 )

Great photos, Mercury could be seen with 20X80 binos... and due to the volcanic ash in the troposphere, there're no aircraft condensation lines in the skies. What an amazing sight
