OK, so vaguely sky related ... on Tuesday evening (May 6th) there is a rare opportunity to photograph the planet Mercury very close to a very thin "new" Moon, with luck this should make a nice photo, there's not many people have even seen the planet Mercury! It's almost always too close to the Sun to see clearly, this is an unusually good elongation and it's specially good luck to have the Moon apparently in close proximity to it.

You need a flat NW horizon and (obviously) a clear sky. Mercury, and the Moon, will become visible about 5 degrees (a skinny fist's width) above the point on the horizon where the Sun went down, about 30-40 minutes after sunset. Binoculars will help you find them earlier, but do not start sweeping whilst the Sun is above the horizon, you could easily blind yourself.

Mercury will be visible using much the same method for about another week, fading gradually before diving back in towards the Sun.

A 200mm to 300mm lens is ideal for making the image. A tripod will also come in very handy!

Good luck....
