It is fortunate for me to have captured in my photo Venus and Mercury conjunction in the west of NW direction of the cloudy city sky. While taking the picture I can only see Venus which is very much brighter than Mercury, as shown in my photo. Afterwards, I look up SkySafari software set at same instant which shows that Mercury is approximately at 11 o'clock direction from Venus. And SkySafari software also shows the brightness of Mercury at m2.1 and Venus at m-3.9. So my photo of this conjunction seems to match SkySafari data, in both the postion and brightness of Mercury and Venus.
