Image Details:

I went out to see the moon and Jupiter conjunction and it looked gorgeous. I noticed something when taking my photos. From general perspective the moon and Jupiter looked so close! But as I zoomed to get more detail on the moon and get Jupiter's Galilean moons the two main objects started getting apart as a zoomed-in more and more. They did not look as close as when there is an occultation. So, which photo should I send? At the end I decided to make a composite of both looks in one photo. Nevertheless it was an spectacular display.
