Don't know if anyone's interested, but Mercury is visible in the west tonight, about 7.30, local time (or 8.30 summer time) and then on for a while. (I'm afraid I missed part of the first set of the brilliant blues at Fox and Hounds last night trying to photograph it.) Penny |

The lovely crescent, with the old moon in its arms, showed the way perfectly. Thanks Penny. Did you get a picture? |
