Details:
This was tricky to do because after carting my telescope mount down to the beach, there was a problem with the power cable and I had no tracking drive. Consequently, I used a drift method, setting the two planets to drift through the field of view so that I could grab a video capture of them. This was then processed with registration/stacking software. Belt and braces but it was worth it to capture this view of such a stunning celestial alignment.
