Yet another Jupiter Saturn Conjunction

Hi all,

weather has been complete rubbish - deja vu last few nights with low cloud clearing and high cloud coming across and ruining the show.

Luckily last night (23rd) it actually cleared a bit at the right time. This was still taken through some light, hazy, high-cloud.
This first image was taken with the MN190 and ZWO ASI120-MC planetary cam. At the Mak-Newt's native focal length of 1000 mm both planets still fit within the ZWO's chip along with the Jovian moons (but I didn't seem to fit in Titan).

The second wide-field image was taken last week on the Sunshine Coast (also during a brief break in the weather) when they were still a fair way apart.
