The Great Conjunction
« on: December 21, 2020, 04:30:38 pm »
This picture was made using a backyard telescope recently. Planets and moons are labeled for your convenience. (The real sky doesn't do that.) The picture is reduced in size from the original, but I think you can see everything. This is for those who can't climb Stone Mountain tonight (including me) to see it for yourself.

We tried.  Went for a drive with good view of horizon...only cloud (and rain) and faint view of moon.  No great surprise.

Tonight I managed to catch the conjunction through a "hole" in the trees. I attempted to take pictures with a Canon Powershot SX70HS. This is the best one. Jupiter (with moons) is on the left, and Saturn is on the right.
