Details:
Clouds over the western horizon prevented me to look for Venus at sunset today. However a few minutes later they vanished and I could find Jupiter. Not visible to the naked eye any longer, it is leaving dusk and sinking fast in the glare of the Sun, being now only 9° from it. Jupiter (m=-1.7) is seen in the first two photos. Mercury (m=-0.3), now some comfortable 20° from the Sun, is shown in the last two photos. A Canon PowerShot SX60 HS Camera at manual mode was used for the shots.
