And very close. It did look a bit like a weirdly blue Jovian moon gone astray. Best views at 110x in the 8" dob (82° 11mm EP) and at 120x in the 8" Cassegrain. The latter with a Super Plössl of all things. It still fit in the field. Super nice.

That sounds awesome Mirko! I'm kicking myself because I was looking at Jupiter naked eye this morning, completely forgot about the conjunction
. I will try tomorrow morning, they will still be 19' apart then.
