It ended up a beautiful clear night here last night after getting lashed by some pretty awesome thunderstorms in the afternoon/early evening (hailstones twice the size of golf balls a couple of Ks away). Though I'd wait around to see what happened after the clouds cleared. It was certainly worth the wait.

Ended up taking my refactor out about 1:00 am to shoot of a few images of the conjunction. The final image is a composite of three @ ISO100. One for the moon, one for Jupiter and one for the Gallilian moons. Moon 1/250 sec, Jupiter 1/80 sec, G moons 1/5 sec. Masked and layered in PS, only adjustment was brightness and opacity if G moon and slight levels on the moon
