Happened to get a nice image of Jupiter and Saturn the night before the peak of the Great Conjunction. I was using a 70mm refracting telescope, and managed to angle my phone just right through the 26mm eyepiece. I was super surprised to see the bonus “dot” of what I think is HD 191250 lined up with Callisto, Ganymede, Io, and Europa around Jupiter. This pic was taken at 5:56 PM Pacific time in San Ramon, California on December 20th.

No post capture editing, just a lucky shot from holding my iPhone up to the eyepiece of my 70mm refracting scope last Sunday night.
