Since - in theory - all eight planets are currently visible, I thought I'd have a bash at another couple (I've already photographed Venus, Jupiter and Neptune this week, you may recall)
Uranus is considerably brighter than Neptune (5.7 compared to 7.8) and is much easier to find: at the moment it's in between Taurus and the Pleiades.
Despite a thorough search I couldn't pick out Mercury below Venus and Jupiter: perhaps I'll have more luck later in the week - on Thursday the crescent Moon will be close by.
