Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars - Jan 7th

[RichardJ]

My attempt at this morning's conjunction.
Not as good as Dennis's lovely image - see Spaceweather.com.

A great view through my NexStar 6SE.

Good for those who missed it Rich...get ready for some more close encounters this year regarding planets, and the daddy of them all Jupiter and Saturn in 2020.

Nice image Richard, that's the type of detail that I was trying to get this morning. Yes, Dennis' images are very good too, thanks for posting.
