first, thanks to Paul for a thorough elaboration on this subject. Very
informative indeed.

And even though I could do as you suggest, ie. run through the Mercury and Venus
transits separately and check manually, I'd rather have my computer do that :)
That's what computers are for, after all.

So my question remains, is Guide capable of doing searches for multi-object
conjunctions? (My suspicion is that it is not.)

As for what a Mercury/Venus transit would look like, another guy from Norway
has made a faked simulation:
