In Christmas night I went outside to view Jupiter-Moon conjunction. It was a bit cloudy over here but I managed to get a glimpse of the event between the clouds. The scene was already impressive with the naked eye but the view through the eyepiece was absolutely amazing! It's not everyday that one can see the belts of Jupiter and the craters on the Moon in the same field of view! The biggest planet in the Solar System and the biggest object in the night sky side by side. A Christmas to remember!
