About this image

The weather report was for clear skies but cloud on the horizon nearly ruined the observation. A little bit of patience (and hope) and Mercury finally put in an appearance. If you zoom in on the photo Mercury is just visible to the right of and slightly below the Moon.

Great shot to get all four of the visible planets in one frame.
