How to find Merkur
This guide starts with a large pattern that is easy to recognize without a telescope. Use Scorpius as the main sky landmark.
Follow the route from one recognizable star to the next until you reach Merkur.
Merkur is only 3° above the horizon, so the view is likely to be poor. No suitable observing time was found during the next two nights.
Use Scorpius as the large-scale sky landmark before following the numbered route.
