Details:
These images show Mercury back to evening twilight. I used a Nikon CoolPix P900 camera to get them half an hour after sunset at 18:15 (UTC-3h). Very easily visible to the naked eye (m=-0.5), the planet was only 4° above the horizon, followed closely (0.6°) by the 3.6-magnitude star Beta Virginis. The time-lapse video and the photos show them hiding behind a nearby building.
