Hey Bob,

yip, I think I can believe it !!! - Mercury is sooooo low in the skies - however
Jupiter helped me a lot aswell :-)

I went outside on my balcony on Wednesday (facing WNW) and finally after trying
to locate Mercury in the twighlight saw him at 9:45p.m.

I've had my PC outside, a Quickcam attached and tried to get some reasonable
shot's - well, Mercury is low, very low, but I've attached what I've got!
(I don't know if my attachement will come through - it's only 6k so I am
hoping...!)

The picture is nothing I would be proud of, but at least I've captured him!

Clear Skies,
Aike
