Here's my contribution to documenting the conjunction from the 27th. Again,
thanks to Mark Wainwright for giving the heads up on this --- it allowed me
to get the camera gear set up and wait for a sucker hole in the high thin
clouds we had in the area. It was also a little breezy at the time and this
is the one of the better shots that came out --- the 500mm catches a lot of
wind that even a decent camera tripod can't overcome. This is the first time
I have been able to capture a planet in phase without the use of a
telescope.
