Depending on Mercury's position, the longest you can see it, is about 1 hour after sunset or 1 hour before sunrise, and when Mercury is at a right angle from the sun as viewed from Earth. This is when Mercury appears to be farthest from the sun. As Mercury orbits the sun, it appears to be closer to the sun, and will be visible for a shorter amount of time. You will need to have an unobstructed view of the horizon.
