    I don't think I'll actually try to photograph it, (but you never know)
    Thanks for the heads up just the same.

    I got to see them, but no photos here either. Venus and Jupiter sure were bright though.

    I shot 30 frames. I'm going to post some of them.

    Here's a preview:

    FYI, Venus is the brighter "star" in the bottom middle of the frame. Jupiter is the other bright "star" on the lower right of the frame.
