Tonight just after sunset, Mercury and Venus passed each other with an angular separation of only 57' 43".
Here are two of my efforts. The close up is through the 200mm scope and 21mm Denk lens and taken while still twilight. It was hand held with the Olympus 410 compact and I thought that I would leave it totally unedited to fully show the view through the lens.
It was a very nice viewing.
