Details:
Jupiter & Venus conjunction... in february 2nd, 1999! At that time, both planets were only 8' apart (much closer than 20' in June 2015), pretty difficult to resolve them visually. Mercury also joined -by far- the show, near SW horizon. Nikon FM2 and slide film

I meant 8 min (angular separation in 1999) and 20 min this year. System does not accept apostrophes...
