A video by the Max Planck Society from 2004 regarding the new Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona-
‘The world’s largest single telescope is being set up atop Mount Graham in Arizona at an elevation of 3,190 meters. This revolutionary instrument, called the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), is equipped with two light-collecting mirrors of 8.4 meters in diameter which can both be directed at a distant celestial body simultaneously, similar to a pair of binoculars.

Venus is very bright, you can spot it easily either after sunset or before sunrise.
Mercury is a difficult planet to observe, due to its proximity to the Sun. Few people have actually seen Mercury. It is even said that Copernicus’ greatest regret was never seeing Mercury in the sky during his lifetime.
View is very similar to the one in my 15×70 Celestron SkyMaster binoculars. Filmed in Campeni, Romania with a JVC Everio camcorder (35x optical).
