Well, that was fun!
We’ve been watching Jupiter and Saturn ease closer for months. Knowing that this was a once in a lifetime thing, I studied up and practiced a little. In the final analysis I think it boils down to 1) stabilizing the camera, 2) focusing carefully and, 3) taking LOTS of frames of varying exposures.
This was an early test – no detail in Saturn or Jupiter
Another test from the deck, as it set over the Canyon
My best effort from 12/21, includes Saturn’s moon Titan…
Once the shooting was over, we made a group Conjunction photo before it set…
