About this image

Drawing of the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction made with a 66mm OG, x78. To the naked eye, Jupiter was a lot brighter than Saturn. In the telescope, Saturn definitely contained a stronger brownish/bronze hues. Very interesting to be able to see a substantial mass of the Solar System in one view!
