Not a bad effort with the Pocket2 in those conditions.  A rare enough event, saw something about it on the news.

Even though the news media had reported the conjunction would occur in advance appears some people in California panicked and called to report two non-moving lights to the sheriff's department.  The below image they captured just don't look scary to me, so why they panicked, not idea.

Yeah, they are all over the place.
Nice to see!

Hell I could not even see them on the screen, Had to guess. The stills looked ok but were very disappointing on a bigger screen.
