The great conjunction, 20th December 2020

[lukebl]

Here's a quick capture of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction this evening.

Just 5 frames, manually stacked in Photoshop. Canon 700d, 200mm f/8 Ritchey-Chretien, 1/5 second exposures, ISO800.

From left to right, the moons are Callisto, Ganymede, Io and Europa. The star to the left of Callisto is 7.5 magnitude HD191250, 233 light years distant.

Here's a single frame from a bit earlier when the sky was bright. Titan is just visible on the original to the right of Saturn.

Well done, these moments are precious, time’s running out and the weather is against us.
