The sloping dark shape at bottom frame is our roofline. A somewhat comical and at times challenging session, but at least it was clear!

It's a bit ordinary for imaging out there isn't it Dennis! It was worth braving the wind for the conjunction though! I've just posted a slightly wind-blown image in the Solar System forum as well.
Cheers,
