Why no Comic Last Night
No comic this week because I was out freezing my fingers off playing with the telescope to see the conjunction.
You can see Jupiter as the large disk with Saturn, the oblong bit to the right of Jupiter. The four Galilean moons can be seen in a line starting above and left of Jupiter to the very faint one almost at the bottom of the picture (directly under Saturn).
It’s a little over exposed in order to get all the moons. Also, there is a chromatic problem you can note along the edges of each object. The scope probably needs a touch-up on the collimation (not something I want to do during the winter months).
