The great conjunction - Dec 18, 2020
The clouds parted for just enough time for me to get a few shots of Jupiter and Saturn much closer together than my last shot. A crescent moon added to the scene in the wide angle shot, and the moons of Jupiter are once again visible in the 240mm telephoto shot. Just ten minutes later and the cloud returned to blanket the sky!
Best viewed large to see the fine planets. They are now closer together than the apparent width of the moon.
