Post your Jupiter / Saturn conjunction images here

I don't even know why I try after looking at Malveaux's shot! Oh well, us mortals have to make due with what we have!

Canon 5DIV and Sigma 150-600 C and a severe crop. Three exposures blended - one for Jupiter, one for Jupiter's moons and one for Saturn.

Hey all,

I was fortunate that the clouds went away, we had setup to see it visually and the clouds were just sticking around. Then they just went on away as the temperature dropped as the sun rested behind the tree line. We were visually watching it in day light and into the sunset and then a bit into night. It was only 11 degrees elevation for us here in Florida. But I had decent seeing conditions for my image scale and was able to get a good event with lots of visual along with a last minute grab of imaging data to produce a decent image of the two gas giants and their moons in their native positions in a single image, no composite (I did process the moons and Saturn to be brighter to match Jupiter as they're much dimmer in reality).

Saturn & Jupiter in Conjunction with visible Moons:

Beautiful series Martin
Your children will remember that for life.
Mine still remember Halley's Comet 40 odd years ago when I dragged them out in the dead of night.
I'd set my theodolite up for them to look through.

Lovely to see family and the universe.

Tim don't be put off. Yours shows the event admirably.
And heaps better than my non event

Don't worry, I know my limitations and I love Malveaux's photos and I am jealous of his set up.

Tim

Are they the same relative distance to us as I would have expected Saturn to have been bigger compared to Jupiter?

Very best,

Excellent results as usual Martin.

This is the best I could come up with.

I agree, Martin turns out quality photos.

But, yours are nothing to apologize about, or any that has been posted.
If I post any, then there’s time to apologize.

Very best,

Hot diggidy dog. You even got some of the moons of Saturn. AMAZING! So glad the heavens parted and gave you the opportunity to capture this to share with all of us. Thank you!

Well, and that's that. A bit of connect-the-dots is all I'll be able to get with my rig. I don't plan to be around 60-years from now for the next somewhat-close alignment. Even if I do make it, I'd be blind as a bat and worry more about where I left my teeth than some planets lining up.

my version tonight...

Everyone's shots are wonderful! Thank you for sharing these!!

Thanks you all for posting. I couldn't see it, because of the clouds. So now I have an idea what it looked like. Great shots.

Well done to everyone. Malveaux's is the gold standard and mine is pretty crappy - the clouds parted for just a few minutes.
