like, and, on land just like this one, but, in Oregon...

The Christmas Star 2020:
The first picture is a long exposure of Jupiter and Saturn together on December 21st 2020 at their closest point,
taken from Central Georgia USA. It was done with a long exposure to allow the light to soak into the barrel of the telescope and bounce off
its internal mirrors and hardware to create this beautiful effect (click on the image to enlarge, then click on the "X" in the bottom right
corner of the image to enlarge again to full size)...
The 2nd picture is what it looked like from the telescope eyepiece, rings of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons in full view...
The 3rd picture is what I took zoomed in with the little blue Cannon (barely see an orange dot in upper left quadrant)...
The 4th picture is actual size crop of the 3rd picture (orange slightly more visablt in upper left corner)...
Merry Christmas.
