Description

Venus (IR-IR/UV-UV) and Mercury (colored IR) on 16th April 2023 wird C14. 
I only had half an hour in a cloud gap to photograph the two planets. It was the first time I managed to photograph a handsome crescent of Mercury. Mercury is extremely difficult to image cleanly. To beautify the image, I added a section of the sun from the previous day, taken with the Lunt LS80THA.
