Moon & Mercury..barely was created by Frank Ryan
I see in another thread Keith G took a great shot of this pairing tonight...

I was at the same craic but was beaten by the clouds...
(as usual they were the only clouds right where you dont want them!)
I was hoping to get the pair nearer the horizon with a castle in the foreground,
still, I think the clouds make for a kind of dramatic feel all the same.

Very nice, the clouds certainly highlight the drama.

I've seen 3 images of the same thing tonight and YES..............the clouds in each image actually add to the image.

For the life of me I couldn't spot Mercury in the sky near to the Moon. I was looking around 9:30pm, briefly, but couldn't get it!
