Mercury ?

[Davey-T]

Went up on the downs earlier to try and catch Mercury, not sure if this is it or aircraft headlights as there were a lot around.

Nice sunset over S London, pointy thing far left is the Shard.

Well done that man.

I went up to our endless western facing seafront at sunset but there was way too much high cloud to have a hope of spotting Mercury.

Well spotted Dave. Well done! I cheated earlier on and did a solar system align with my goto mount on the sun, then found Mercury and Venus from that at around 6:30pm. Also spied Jupiter too, but it was washed out in the sky with the brightness.

Lets just say it's Mercury.

Well done Dave ?  I managed it too this evening (along with Venus and Jupiter).  I'm really pleased as I have finally found a local site with a low western horizon (only downside was lots of insects though ? )

Thanks Helen, I was dive bombed by some large clumsy bee type things, very inquisitive, one even sat inside the camera lens hood

Well Captured Dave. A very rarely imaged planet.

[Ibbo!]

Nice catch dave - tbh not tried this time round.

[U Cyg]

Looks like the real McCoy Dave, well done. Your pic gives the illusion that you are above the clouds. These high cirrus do make for nice sunsets though.
