Jupiter and Saturn in the closest conjunction in 800 years. Several of Jupiter's moons are visible. Cellphone image taken with the aid of an old Celestron C90 telescope,. Not my best work but at least I got an image.

Western Sky, just after Sunset. I was able to start seeing Jupiter when it was still twilight. Will be low on the horizon - look for a bright "star" There will be a bit more distance between Jupiter and Saturn tonight than yesterday - Earth moves faster in its orbit than the outer planets so it makes it look like they are the ones moving appart.
great shot H... Gloria and I went out front to take a look and to the naked eye they were side by side...
here is another telescope image that's pretty good: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39789358/

My little scope https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38920707/ 40 year old Celestron C90 on a newer mount I picked up in October. Found the C90 at a flea market about a decade ago for 65 bucks. Had been well over 400 bucks in the early 1980s when I was really wanting one
Had a neighbor in Texas who thought I was looking in her windows with a 6 inch mirror Newtonian telescope - finally had enough of her bullshit and asked her to look thru the thing at Jupiter - was right over her house in the evening. She shut up after that - A noticed I couldn't see any of her windows, B too much magnification and she never knew C: I had no interest in her sorry ass - I may have went to school with her son but she was far from being a MILF more of a MIWLF
Now this FA member got a damn good image https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39.....#cid:152400867
Larger scope with a CCD imager in place of the eyepiece and hooked to a laptop. I've been wanting one of those imagers for a while. Had one on order - order cancelled due to covid bs at least I got my money back
