Great Conjunction


Well, the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on 21st Dec 2020 didn’t go quite to plan – it was cloudy and rainy! However I managed a quick photo the day before (when they were still of course very close) with my Smartphone and telescope. Just a single image so no stacking or anything clever – but better than nothing – Enjoy!

APOD has a better image … https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201223.html – taken by one of our previous lecturers Damian Peach.
