Lovely image,thanks for posting, I'm glad somewhere in the country has clear skies. Was really looking forward to getting some images of this conjunction but there's a bit of moisture in the atmosphere around the east coast.

Very nice capture. Interesting to compare the size of the two objects.

Wow that is nice! I was really hoping to capture this on the east coast too but it has been non stop rain!
