Mercury in the Morning (4 April 2013)

Mercury in the morning. After weeks of rain, cloud or just plain failing to get up in the morning, I finally got a shot of Mercury in its morning apparition. Mercury is the bright dot bottom centre (not horribly exciting but the bright Moonlight made longer exposures not viable).

On the 8th and 9th of April the Crescent Moon will join this dot, and will look quite nice in the morning.

Image is 1 x 5sec exposure at ASA 400 with my Canon IXUS.
