Details:
Here's a decent shot of Mercury taken on June 10, 2023 at 13:46 UT in daylight. The seeing was quite good as the smoke clears away from the Canadian wildfires.
Several features can be seen on the disk. The bright area just below the center is Lugus Planitia including a rayed crater Waters. Another rayed crater Bortok is located near at 7 o'clock position. Toward the NE of the disk is a bright region Sobkuo Planitia including with a rayed crater Degas.
Also, the Messenger image is included with my shot. Both are nearly identical.
