Merry Christmas!
Due to cloud cover on the big night, I got out the night after the Great Conjunction and got a clear view of Jupiter and Saturn with just a small separation. And the moon was half-full, also. Got some good moon shots, but without a tracking base on my camera, the planets moved too fast to get a good exposure. I could clearly see 4 moons around Jupiter and could just make out the rings of Saturn through the viewfinder with my 150-500mm zoomed out to max. I do have a large telescope (8", 2000mm) with a camera adapter, but my tracking drive is broken right now. Besides, the tripod and base for it weighs about 50 pounds.
Finished the Concept2 100,000 meter Holiday Challenge with 101,743 meters rowed since Thanksgiving Day. Next challenge starts on New Year's Day.
Got my 3-photo series of roses uploaded here and to the stock sites that I supply.

Gearing up for more basement studio tabletop shots. With winter really descending on us tonight, it'll be cozy in the basement because the wood-burning furnace is adjacent to my studio area. High for Christmas Day is only supposed to be 29, with a low of 16 at night.
