It was the coldest night for ages, about 3 or 4 ºC, but finally at about quarter to six I saw Mercury emerging from the cloud tops near its eastern elongation from the sun. This is a stack of 4 pics that were slightly out of focus, but the composition looked better. Mercury was in Leo, hovering below the lion's front paw.
