Wonderful vews of the conjunction just now. I was able to get both Mars and Jupiter in the field of view of my 15mm Superview EP on my Edge HD8 scope (@ 2032mm fl).
Banding on Jupiter stood out well and I was treated to the additional conjunction of Europa and Io, nearest to Jupiter, passing within a hairs width of each other but with a clear gap.
Glad i took the trouble to look.
Mars was not great in detail, being so far away from Earth right now, but had good ol Mars colour but suffered from a little from Seeing conditions at that altitude.
