Mars-Mercury conjuction,17-19 June

[Cosmic Geoff]

Did anyone observe this conjuction?

I'm fairly sure that I found Mercury as a telescopic object on the evening of the 17th with a 102mm f5 achro refractor, at about 6 deg altitude, after searching by altitude and azimuth. I did not see Mars, which should have been somewhere at the edge of the telescopic field.  I checked in Stellarium what the paired view should look like, but by that time the planets were too low and in cloud.
