We captured some data last night from Chile of the conjunction using the deep sky camera.
Several exposures combined to reveal both planets and moons.
The GRS can be seen on Jupiter. A few of Saturn's moons can be seen including Titan at lower right.
1m F/6.8 telescope with FLI CCD camera.

Here is an image taken 24hrs after the first one with both planets near minimum separation (6.2 arc mins.) No GRS visible this time however....
Same set-up as previous image.
