Details:
While concentrating on a long imagining session of Comet Wirtanen, I almost missed the close conjunction of Mars and Neptune happening at the opposite end of the sky. I quickly captured a few shots before the planetary pairing set behind the tree line. On this evening, the two were only about 20 arc minutes apart. The image was captured with a Canon 80D and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L II lens. (ISO 1600, f/3.5, 20 sec).
