Nice image and a new first as I have never had to use "averted vision" to
pick out a planet in a photo! But Mercury is in there!

Here's a shot I took yesterday showing Venus, Jupiter and Mercury just after

sunset.

Had I planned better I would have known that Mercury was that high and I 
could have stayed a bit longer tolet the sunset fade to try to get the 
planet to stand out a bit more from the sun glow.
