Mercury in the moody twilight.

I guess that we all have noticed the lively twilights since the Tonga-volcanic eruption early this year.

I have captured Mag 0.2 Mercury that was weaving in and out of dark clouds before setting.

Mercury is now 150K kilometers away, which is a similar distance to the Sun.

I assume the star in the images is Beta Virgins.

That should be 150 million km.
