Venus-Jupiter conjunction

[doppler (Rick)]

A few pics of the conjunction taken on the 30th. Hard to get a good exposure with Venus being so much brighter than Jupiter.
10" f4.7 skywatcher at prime focus (about the same field of view as a 25mm eyepiece with the 10").
1/13 sec iso 400, twilight shot overexposed to show Jupiters moons. The second pic is at 1/2 sec iso 100 and the third at 1/200 sec iso 100.

Thanks guys, it's nice to be able to have some fun when it doesn't matter that there is a full moon.
