I’ve created six charts on one graphic demonstrating the 2011 elongations from the Sun, and altitudes above the horizon for Mercury and Venus. The altitudes are for 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset as viewed from North 42° latitude. The elongations are for all observers, and the altitudes should well serve most folks north of the tropics. The graphic can be seen at: www.curtrenz.com/astronomical and then going to the inferior planets page.
