I noticed that Steve when I was advancing through Stellarium week by week to see when Jupiter had any more good conjunctions preferably near the ground. It all fits comfortably with good detail in the FoV of my 183MC, 10" F4 and 2 x Powermate.

I'll be prepared to drive a long way to see this one, if the weather doesnt look good locally !

And on the 17th the new moon is also reasonably close.
