Larry, your friend did very well, but it is high tech stuff with a telescope. Toine's effort is perhaps the best possible with normal photographic equipment. It will be interesting to see what Paul can conjure up if the conditions are favourable. Alan C On 21-Dec-20 12:36 AM, Larry Colen

PESO: Jupiter/Saturn Convergence.

A minor miracle here - the clouds opened! This is my effort. Also 3 moons visible. Shot at 170mm. The 500mm shots were "elongated". Will try again with the Astrotracer tomorrow, clouds willing. Jupiter/Saturn convergence. 3 moons visible. | Flickr

With just a bit of luck, this could have been a spectacular image. As it is, it is interesting and a bit amusing, with the yellow guy showing us his belly. I would keep it for what it is. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sun,

Cloudy here till wednesday but i did manage to view them with my old Wild T1a survey transit on a clear Thursday night. Some atmospheric waves most likely from the -11C temps but every now and then they stopped for a second and i could make out Saturn's rings, Jupiter was just a big glowing ball
