Mercury was a poor evening observing target at the beginning of this month, but you can fare a better chance at finding it in the morning as this month ends.
Right now, it is some 104 million kilometres away and will undergo inferior conjunction around November 24th.
It swings into the morning sky then after, being 111million kilometres distant on Dec. 1. It will appear as a faint star in the twilight just 2-3 degrees north of the slender crescent Moon on Nov. 30.
Look to the southeast horizon then.

Venus shines brilliantly in the evening sky.
Saturn and Mars are seen through out the night.
