The weather was perfect in St. Louis last night to view the planetary conjunction. The family went out for a look, me carrying a camera and tripod. Now, I know nothing about astronomical photography and may not have proper equipment. At least I got a picture with a little horizon and separation between Jupiter and Saturn.
The second photo is severely cropped. What is that diagonal series of reddish dots? Could it be that I got some to the satellites of Jupiter, or are they just spectral highlights? They appear in a few but not all of my shots. Maybe more sophisticated photographers can help answer the question.
