Mars Mercury

Just had nice views of Mars and Mercury rising in the dawn sky, took a couple of pics, hand held so may be a bit shaky, going back to bed now.

Yes, posted in the planetary imaging bit.

Thanks for that Dave. I forget to look on the images, as I'm a ludite and don't generally use anything more technical than a pencil & paper. There's beautiful about seeing the planet's in a pre dawn sky. Thanks!

Excellent pic. Both Mercury and Mars are clearly visible to the naked eye.  I still haven't managed to view these two planets yet and am really looking forward to having a look. I have been trying to locate Mars in the early mornings when clear but had no joy. Hopefully I will find it in the evening!
