I was able to see and image Venus and Mercury tonight but Saturn was not
visible.   I used my ToUcam 740K and a 135 mm lens set at f/16 with a X2
teleconverter.   The skies were very misty so were very redish orange in colour which I
think transfered to Mercury. 

Top image is after a tweak or two in Gimp (graphics package)
bottom image is the before.
