Close Saturn and Venus

We have some planets close together at the moment and last night Saturn and Venus were 0.5 dg apart, with Mercury below, and Mars above. I had a look through thru scope to see Saturn and Venus in same field of view!! Quite impressive. Of course I took a few pics too, with camera on tripod On 15th and 16th Saturn will be close to Mercury at 1 dg separation.
