I was so lucky to see and photograph the Closest Approach on Monday evening. Cloud moved in at 17h45. I knew I could only start taking photos at 19h15 and that by 20h00 Jupiter and Saturn would dip below my horizon. Well - they slowly emerged from behind the drifting cloud at 20h01, leaving me only minutes to aim, focus and expose correctly. The tension and excitement made the view all the more enthralling.
Here is my updated composite of photographs taken in the days running up to the 21st. I have arranged the planets so that they are orientated correctly to the western horizon. The Moon in the background shows how far Jupiter moved to catch up to Saturn.
