After quite a long period of clouds, clouds, clouds, I was finally able to see the nightsky yesterday. Shortly after sundown, Mercury and Venus were visible. As can be seen in the screenshot of Stellarium, they’ll get very close next Friday. Let’s hope it’ll be a clear sky then as well. https://movq.de/v/fc450fa28c/

Catching Mercury is rather rare, because it’s so close to the sun. Last time I made it was in 2017: https://www.uninformativ.de/pics/photo/astro/2017-09-16--IMG_7471-venus-mercury-mars.jpg

@movq I should pull out my telescope and see if I can snap a photo of them 🤔

@movq Wow, very nice! It's crazy, that we're able to actually still see them nowadays with all the light pollution. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a cloudless sky.
@prologic Oh, yeah, do it! 😁

@lyse That’s right, especially since I’m living in one of the “red” areas here: https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/ But well, Mercury was hardly visible with the naked eye. I just knew where to look. Venus was fine.

@movq Cool map, turns out I'm right in a red area, too. Crap.
Today is the day. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand of course, clouds all over the place. 😭

Ya, no way for me to see the planets. But at least it was a fancy sunset. https://movq.de/v/0c2d68c001/

@movq Oh, yeah! Very beautiful colors. We had just a regular sunset with the ever so slightest pink, nothing fancy at all. I completely forgot about the constellation, but there was no chance to see it either anyways.
