Equipment Details:

Sony A600/Tamron 500mm mirror lens with 2X teleconverter

Post-processing Details:

I combined 3 photos because the camera doesn't have enough dynamic range to show the rings of Saturn, color on Jupiter and Jupiter's moons all in one photo. I kept the distances between the planets and the distances of moons to Jupiter as accurate as possible.

Image Details:

The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Even with the unaided eye, you could see some separation between the 2 planets.
