Aloha Patrick I just posted 2 images from this mornings conjunction in Utah Astronomy Gallery. As my friend Robert and I walked up to shoot the planets,they appeared as headlights in the sky floating over the horizon w/ the Big Island to the right. It was quite nice, great weather w/ a slight wind, and once again feeling very fortunate to live in the middle of the Pacific. If you are interested, the camera was a tripod mounted Nikon D200 @100 ISO, stock 18-70mm zoom @ 70mm for wide view, cropped image was with a 300mm AF Nikkor, used faithfully. Aloha Rob
