nice shot of Mercury, this coincides with information I saw in blog today indicating it is possible to get Mercury and Venus before sunrise, I'll like to try this on the weekend, but looking in stellarium how far apart the planets are, it may require something around 50mm to get both planets in the frame, this will likely be not very attractive

My picture of Mercury is from february 2013, after sunset.

Here up north, the sun is to high when Mercury rise now.
