    Another Great Conjunction shot:

    Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Image shot from an elevation of 10,780'. This image is significantly cropped from the full frame captured by the camera. Postprocessed to even out brightness of the principal objects.

    Nice! You were able to get Saturn's rings and a bit of the banded color of Jupiter.

    Thanks! That was a surprise bit I learned taking photos of these over the past few nights - these planets are surprisingly bright. ISO 400, 1/40 at f/5.6: Not typical astro settings.

    Side-by-side of two Great Conjunction shots taken 24 hours apart. Must be quite a ride on those Galilean moons!

    Great Conjunction photos taken exactly 24 hours apart showing the change in position of the planets and the Galilean moons. Photo on left taken from 6'700 feet, photo on right taken at 10,800'.

    We had overcast clouds and could not see the Christmas Star. So here is a moon shot from last year.
