The “Christmas Star” Conjuction

Well, we had a fire at the house back in November. We’re all fine, including all of the cats and dogs, and the direct fire damage was minimal. But the fire took out the electrical, plumbing, and heating systems in the house and observatory. So things are pretty much off-line now. But, I did manage to rig up the observatory off of 12 VDC power to view the Jupiter-Saturn “Christmas Star” conjunction. Wow. Jupiter with its moons Callisto, Io, and Europa.  Saturn with Hyperion and Titan.
