Mercury (Planet)

Light pollution: severe Transparency: fair Seeing: poor
Time: Sat Dec 30 12:40:00 2017 UT Obs. no.: 2037
Went 10 miles east of town to catch Mercury with my Nikon 10x50 binoculars which was nice to see before the sun brightened it from its orange color. The moons of Jupiter were pinpoint, bright and clear. I then grabbed my Barska 12-20x50 spotting scope and found the Nikon to be far superior when looking at the moons. Spica was bright. Bortle class 3 and in the astronomical dawn, but the view was still good.
