40 mins after sunset. In the west of NW direction I photographed planet Mercury, m+0.7 accompanied by a fainter star, Elnath m+1.67 roughly at 1 o'clock direction from Mercury. Afterwards, I checked against SkySafari software for same moment and there is shown Mercury and Elnath, with the latter roughly at same 1 o'clock from Mercury, in agrement with my photo.
