Details:
The photos, taken with a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS camera at manual mode and from 20:37 to 21:04 UT, show: Mercury returning to dusk, next to a building wall, still less than 8° from the Sun (first and second photos); the waning crescent of Venus, 8.3% illuminated and at 260x zoom (third photo) and Venus, Jupiter and Regulus (fourth photo). It can be interesting to highlight that Mercury could still be seen in the last image of SOHO LASCO C3 when these images were taken with no use of a telescope.
