Venus and Jupiter Conjunction - 2023 March 02

West Des Moines, IA

Unfortunately, we got scr*wed out of the close approach on March 01 due to some last-minute clouds. It was clear all day and an hour before it was dark enough, the clouds quickly moved in. So here it is 1 day after that. I had to shoot with a higher ISO than I like in order to capture the detail I managed here, which you can see all 4 moons of Jupiter, Io being a bit close and almost blended in with Jupiter itself.

This is part of the whole image, perhaps by about 4x.
