Jupiter and Saturn Conjunction 20th December 2020

About this image

Imaged using a Fuji XT-2 and Starwave 102 f/11 refractor mounted onto a Skywatcher Sky Tee mount. Exposure was tricky to balance in order to get the Galilean moons without over exposing Saturn. It would be better suited perhaps to a dedicated planetary cam and stacked video. However nonetheless it was a record of the conjunction on the 20th December 2020 at 17:00hrs GMT.
