About this image

A byproduct of trying to catch the dark side of Venus before sunrise was that I was up early enough to capture the day sides of both Venus and Mercury before the Sun had risen high enough to make life more awkward, the atmosphere always seems a little more turbulent when the Sun is high in the sky.
