Last night you were able to Mercury near the Pleiades constellation to the lower right of the moon. I saw Pleiades but didn’t know Mercury was there, I went to look tonight and didn’t see either. Actually last night I saw Mercury but not the Pleiades. Mercury is very low, it takes to the western light to dim enough to see it ~8:20pm.
Here's a pict I took last night at ~8:40pm
I didn't know the Pleiades were there until I got home
Here's the wide shot on how low they were
SO you really need an open view to the WNW to see Mercury

Beautiful photos. I'm jealous!!!! Thanks for sharing :)
I was out there tonight. The moon is a beautiful awesome orange sliver. I tried to take photos but they just didn't come out right. I got many slivers LOL
What's the secret to shooting the moon?

Also Taken last night. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Ok, maybe Pelosi on a broom.

Nice shot. Unfortunately I missed Mercury but saw the Pleiades.
