Jupiter was very close to Venus tonight. This is the view through the SV110ED with the Canon T3i and AT2FF. It rained this evening where I live, so I drove about thirty miles north to find a hole in the clouds. Anyway, the best view is one you don't see here. It was at 77x through a 10mm eyepiece. In that view, Jupiter's cloudbands shone, and all four moons were points of light. Venus was an amazing crescent on the other side. So I could actually observe six solar system bodies in a single view. Pretty amazing!
