[Leica] Conjunction, two days late

[boulanger.croissant at gmail.com (Peter Klein)]

Seattle had bad weather for several days before and during the Great 
Conjunction on Monday night. Tuesday night the sky was partly cloudy, 
but the cloudy part was blocking the planets. Tonight (Wednesday), I 
finally got to see Jupiter and Saturn having their t?te-a-t?te. They are 
still respectably close.? Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains provide 
the setting.

I was alone at a park on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound.? Due to 
COVIDiot considerations, I wanted to be sure I could quickly move away 
from any unmasked people, unencumbered by a tripod, expensive equipment, 
etc.? So my record shot was taken with a humble iPhone 7, complete with 
Impressionistic noise, and cropped to about 50%. Enjoy anyway.

This is a better shot, taken with a very big telescope in Chile. Size 
matters. As with mine, click once or twice to enlarge.
