Last Monday night, Mrs. BFTP and I finished putting up the last of the Christmas lights on the house. I stepped outside to snap a quick picture of the whole affair.
I didn't notice until after I went back inside and pulled up the pic that the image included a little extra bit of coolness.
That bright object appearing in the background sky is the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction.
I had forgotten all about the event, so after viewing this pic, I grabbed my little 60mm refractor telescope and 25mm Kellner eyepiece and had a good look-see of the planetary pair. It was quite a treat seeing the two planets in the same telescopic field along with Titan and the Galilean moons of Jupiter...
