In post processing I noticed Mercury was just a smudge of pixels and not easily viewable at 100% view. In Photoshop CS2 I selected Mercury and raised the highlight levels a bit to make it more visible for the final jpeg. Beta Scorpii(?) was supposed to be visible close to Mars, I believe; I saw it as a smudge of pixels to the upper left of Mars; Its pixels were even weaker than Mercury's. I chose not to enhance those pixels.
My signature below shows the latitude/longitude for the town in which the image was taken.
