There's something otherworldly about seeing the other planets like this. We know that they're there and have seen them in photos, but pointing a telescope up at the the sky and seeing it with your own eyes is still a moment of awe. It's the closest thing to a "spiritual" moment for me.
The universe is an amazing place. Thanks for sharing your image.

Awesome! What telescopes were you using?
I got an entry Celestron this summer and have had about as much clarity as your first picture.
