Details:
It was a great show in Tucson AZ. Shown is a normal angle taken with a 50 mm lens (Nikon D800) with a Saguaro cactus for a sense of place. The close view was photographed with a Quester telescope with a Nikon D810 that shows Venus and Jupiter (and the four major moons). The close Venus/Jupiter conjunction was only a small fraction of the Sun's or Moon's diameter.
