Details:
That I wish conveyed how it looked to my eye. I saw a sight probably not seen by any previous generation, I was able to resolve Saturn and it's rings while seeing a disc like Jupiter in the same field of view. I think a 6 mm eyepiece was the smallest I was able to use and still see both planets in the same field of view on my telescope (focal length: 650 mm, aperture: 130 mm (approximately 5 inches). The image was taken on the 19th December 2020 at 16:23 UTC (4:23 GMT), by holding a phone-camera over a telescope eyepiece (10 mm I think but it might have been a 25 mm).
