Here's my shot. Actually it was the day before the conjunction. I managed to pick up a 7.5 mag star while I was at it. I used one exposure for the planets and a second for the moons.

Very nicely done Rob!

More than I managed to get!

Had a small (and very unexpected) early clearing this afternoon. But by the time I took everything out/tried setting up the camera to grab some snaps, it went below the tree line. At least I got a quick visual from trying!

Very nice, Rob. I didn't even come close to picking up that star.

I love how that star looks like a fifth moon for Jupiter. Great image, thanks for sharing.

Excellent capture.
