Image Details:

Looking west in the early evening between 7 and 8 PM. Hazy cloud bands were passing through fogging the planets, obscuring Jupiter completely at times and occasionally breaking up into clear sky moments. The bottom image is the hazy cloud period with the top image closeup during a clear sky moment. The Galileo Moons are visible near Jupiter will some elongation due to the exposure length. Venus picked up a little bit of color as well. Our weather was clear before and after the conjunction with this being the first partially clear night after missing the choice nights with the planets in conjunction.
