Closer view of the Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus

Two bright objects close together! Should be easy, but the seeing and my mental processes were both quite unsteady as dawn approached.

Used my C8 at f/10 with the 533mc as a larger chip to eventually catch the action on a Celestron Evolution mount. Could only stack a small amount of frames because of the relative movements of the planets and the jerkiness of the alt az motion. Then had overlaid a duplicate with brightened moons and some dimming of the overexposed Venus
