Yes Paul, I have posted a shot I took the next night (27th), but I have posted them in the wrong order on the page. I didn't get any more after the 27th.

I must add that this is the best view of Mercury that I've ever got. Usually it's much closer to the horizon.

Regards

It's incredible how different your view of the conjuntion was from mine (close to Toronto Canada).

Very nice pic, see you on the forum.

What a photo! I had a view of them much lower to the horizon. Saturn and Mercury were very hard to make out and could only be seen when they were just about to disappear. Jealous or what?!
