I have opened this topic about various events concerning Venus; annotate the conjunction with Uranus on day 22 January. The maximum approach 1.22° will happen at 21.05 U.T., but they will be near for a few days. A photo will be impressive to see the two planets, the first great and bright, the second minuscule.

Hi Ricci
A cool conjunction. If the weather is good I will have an attempt at taking some images.
I have only ever attempted Uranus once but was so impressed with it's greeny blue appearance.
I may not be able to image both in my scopes field of view at prime focus - and the exposure time will be very different for each target - but that's why we have imaging processing and photoshop!
Thanks for the heads up.
See ya
