Moon Mercury and Venus

[Trevor N]

Taken a few weeks back but just got around to processing. The camera was a canon 1200D with standard 55 - 250 mm canon lens at about 135mm. If you can't find it, Mercury is right in the middle about 20 % of the way down from the top edge. I'm always pleased to see Mercury. I think this is about the fourth time in 50 years !!

That’s a lovely image Trevor. Thanks for pointing out Mercury, it saved me searching Sky Safari for its position

Thanks Richard. I enjoy taking this type of shot. Seems more real than through the scope if that makes sense
