I took this image this morning of Jupiter & Saturn aligned AKA Star of Bethlehem. Taken on Ochlocknee Bay at the Bend of Florida.

Much appreciated comments, really. Humbling I must say as a rank novice.

Really well done. Great to see a photo of the conjunction that is not just two white dots

Thank you so much everyone. I was surprised to see it still shining bright at 6 AM and grabbed the camera. The night before I basically got two dots close together with Saturn appearing orange. The DAL 55-300 did a surprising job and a passing car over the bridge gave a nice red tailight trail to enhance. Merry Christmas!

Truly amazing!

Nice shot. I assume this is the east sky as they had set in the west just after nightfall here in Denver.

Yes, it was West at night and in morning when this was taken, it was in the Eastern sky.
