Moon, Venus, and Mercury

This was pretty amazing.
My first time seeing Mercury, and it was perfect!
That’s it above the others there, about as far as it ever gets from the Sun; having been at its greatest eastern elongation on the 21st.
Here’s a closer view of them all:

Moon and Mercury following:

Goodnight Moon…

The view from where I set up. It was really cold up there!

Little sliver of a moon:

Caught first glimpse of Venus while snapping pics of airplanes out towards Nashville:
