Objective: To view and image Venus and Mercury, which were supposed to be in the western sky, just after dark.
Report:
- Venus was very bright, just over the horizon, with Mercury higher and to the North of Venus by about 5 degrees. Venus was much brighter.
- For most of the time, Venus was visible with Mercury behind the clouds which were moving south. The two planets were only visible together, at the same time, for a few seconds.
