That is a cool shot! I managed to see the 2 planets while there was still separation in them, and before some rain clouds moved in later that night. A Facebook friend & former colleague posted some great pics (or was it a link to some great pics?), taken, among other places, at an observatory in Abu Dhabi. The pics were in color, so you could see the different colors of Jupiter (as well as the red eye), and the rings around Saturn were fairly distinct. But from here outside of Washigton D.C., it just looked like 2 bright stars that were close together. Glad I got to see it!
