Tonight's closest visual approach of Venus and Jupiter found me in a 
local park with my Olympus E-M5 and an old 135/3.5 OM Zuiko lens.

The first has all sharpening, local contrast and noise reduction turned 
off so that the diameter and color of planets are not changed by 
processing.  The second, taken with a PanaLeica 25/1.4,  is dedicated to 
Jim Shulman.  The people were very nice, they let me look through their 
telescope (a fairly basic refractor). Interestingly, the 10x digitally 
magnified view through my E-M5 was almost as good.
