A new year of astroimaging

[RichardJ (Richard)]

Just a couple of images to start the new year.

Moon Jan 2 - perigee moon. Big and bright.
Mars Jupiter conjunction taken this morning. They will be closer tomorrow morning. Worth getting up early.

Hi Joe,

I think it should be Saturn not Jupiter with Mars and M22 in early April.
