Jupiter was very close to the moon this morning. On high power I couldn't get them in the same shot, but I was able to on 48x and 96x. Took heaps of pics and still have to go through them all. Even took some landscape type ones.
Thanks, I'm a dairy farmer and have to get up early anyway- but this morning I got up at 3 to get some observing in before milking. Was up before the moon came up and taking pics right through until it got too much daylight. Not sure how often these 2 come together but had to try and get them both in the same pic. A couple others:
I remember seeing this early this morning too, when woken up by our cat. I thought, if Jupiter was a few more degrees over, and it'd look a bit like the Turkish Flag...
One thing I noticed looking back through all the pics, was that it started a bit to one side. Then it moved across and reached maximum closeness, before moving further away again. I didn't know at the time when it would be at it's closest point.
Tried to get the moon and saturn this morning, but they were too far apart for the telescope. I could just see them both through the finderscope, so I snapped a few pics through the finderscope before clouds came in and blocked out everything. Not very spectacular, really need them to be closer together. But it was worth a try. Should have probably slept in.
Was out observing and imaging this conjunction on Wed. morning , very pretty with Mars and Saturn nearby and the Sagittarius region as a back drop. Closest approach that I estimated was about 0.25 deg ( 15' ) which is about what the images show.
Missed the Moon / Saturn conjunction due to the ever present cloud cover.
