Yes, Mercury was very prominent a couple of weeks ago. Of course it's always close to the Sun, so perhaps your horizon viewing conditions have obscured it (I have to walk so that the trees and street lights are out of the way).

I've been trying to track the Pleiades for Matariki (Maori New Year), which are currently just above Venus.

Glad you were able to see it. I’m guessing you might be in the southern hemisphere? Heard Mercury viewing this time was somewhat better there.

Forgot to mention I’m in the northern hemisphere.
