"Jupiter & Saturn dancing in the sky! 🪐⭐ What a spectacular time to witness these brilliant planets in the night sky. As the conjunction approaches on December 21st, these two planets will become closer and closer. On the 21st they will only be 0.1 degree apart! 😯"Photo by: Photo credit: Niccole Neely

As soon as Jupiter was visible this evening I took some experimental shots with various camera settings using my most powerful camera lens with a teleconverter. To my surprise, it was possible to make out Saturn and it's disk a little bit. It is in the upper part of the shot with Jupiter below. No moons of Jupiter in this shot...just surprised that it was even possible to see Saturn and it's disk upon zooming into the shoot. I'll be back on location tomorrow and Monday evening to get scenic shots with Saturn & Jupiter in them. Enjoy!"Photo by: Dennis Taylor
