Venus-Jupiter conjunction

[doppler]

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.

nice one rick, awesome moon alignment and worth the overexposure.

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