The following photos show Mercury and Venus, which were quite close to each other at the evening sky in May 2020. Although I was not able to observe them both at the moment of their closest distance, I was at least able to observe them both at a time when they were still faily close. On one day in May (May 24, 2020), there was even a "meeting" with the crescent of the moon, but regrettably, I was only able to see the moon and Mercury.
The photos were taken with a Sony RX10 M4.

Crescent of the Moon and Venus as well as Mercury and Venus taken with RX10 M4; the planets can be better seen in larger versions. The "find" is dubious...
