I managed to get a few shots of the conjunction last night. The first shot I took was the best of the lot, at least in the digital stuff. I took some emulsion shots as well, but I need to get them developed... if not successful they will probably be the last using alchemy.

I used my work camera: Canon A400 3.2 mp, night scene mode, everything else in default or auto, 2.2 zoom. 6:04 from the front yard of my place over the Pecan Nut tree.
