Conjunction Junction

I borrowed Kimra’s birding lens (100-400 EF L) to get the moon in the frame with Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter is the lower of the two, with a couple of Galilean satellites visible. The two planets are in the field of view of my 8″ SCT, but the quick shots I got off tonight and last night were out of focus. Hopefully we’ll have some clear evenings between now and Monday, when they are closest.

    1. Yes, I guess Saturn is a little far to resolve rings at 158mm. It’s a little oblong, maybe, when you zoom in πŸ™‚
