Hi, great to see that you have also viewed this spectacle. This morning I woke up to view the conjunction of the waning crescent Moon and Venus, Jupiter,Alderbaran and Pleiades well I wasn't disappointed the sight that befell me was amazing. I haven't seen the planets this bright ever. Maybe it was because my eyes were dark adapted having just woken up I'm not sure but I'm glad I got up when I did around 5am.
I took some images but as you say they don't do the event justice with my FUJI 10pixel camera but I just had to record it somehow.
