Venus and Mercury nearing appulse - 2020 May 20

Tamron 70-300mm lens (100mm f/4)
ISO 400
One example from a series taken in a clear sky during yesterday's warm evening. Venus is at upper left, Mercury is at the 5 o'clock position to the lower right. No image processing applied, just cropped.
It took me a while to spot Mercury in my 10x50 binoculars. As the sky darkened I was able to see both planets with the naked eye. That's a rare sighting for me.
