About this image

Sunday's view of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 16.49UT. Better with the increased image scale that the closeness of the pairing allows. Again this is NOT a composite. One video with no different processing for individual parts of the frame. High gamma to bring Saturn brightness closer to Jupiter.

15msec frame time. Best 25% of 1876 frames.
