Daniel Fischer<p>I'd say the evening apparition of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> is already past its peak: the view from Bochum, Germany, again today, with the same clear sky as on the three evenings before - but the planet, down to -0.6 mag. now, is less obvious to the eye and harder to catch for the cellphone camera. When closest to Venus a week from now it will be a full magnitude (factor ~2.5) fainter than tiday.</p>

Daniel Fischer<p>Going after <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> - below Venus - from Bochum, Germany, with a hand-held cheap cellphone today: low but against a rather dark sky, with the Sun at -10°45' (and Mercury at +4°54') and at -11°08' (+4°33'), respectively, just before it went into horizon haze and faded away. The pictures are out of cam with 4.7 mm focal length at fixed f/1.79, only cropped: the camera chose /14.3 seconds at ISO 6332 and 1/12.5 seconds at ISO 6375.</p>
Jason Baluyut<p>I’m enjoying the Parade of Planets while the clear skies last. Here’s a view of the crescent moon, Venus, and a very faint Mercury over the Brooklyn docks at sunset. The gantry cranes are always a dramatic sight and I love including them in photographs when I can.<br><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/venus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>venus</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mercury</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sunset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunset</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/urbanphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanphotography</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/iphonephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iphonephotography</span></a></p>
