Details:

A couple minutes before it set I captured Mercury making its debut in its upcoming evening apparition. (I spotted it in 7x35 binoculars first.) Tomorrow it passes through the Beehive star cluster (=M44), an event that will probably go unseen. A better bet is next Wednesday when there's a compact gathering of all the rocky planets around Regulus, joined by a thin crescent Moon.
