Yes, it was very pretty. We had a clear horizon and by 9.10 pm the Cresent Moon and Jupiter drifted past each other before both setting at about 9.30 pm. At closest approach I estimated the separation between Jupter and the Moon's limb at only 10 arc minutes. Certainly the closest conjunction of the two I have seen, other than the occultation a few years ago.
Cheers
Steve.
