Lovely shot, Ken. When you get the chance, tell us what your equipment is, and what was your exposure and anything else. But I welcome you aboard to www.irishastronomy.org .I am sure we will have many more reports from you in the future.

nice pic, it was certainly a nice conjunction.
its a pity the moon didnt occult it as seen from here.

Thank you for your inquiries both Daves.

My camera is the Nikon 5000
Zoom Lens was 450mm
The aperture was 5.6
The speed was 1/100 sec.
I used a tripod which is essential for night photos.

Regards,
