Venus and Mars come together.

Clock driven prime focus photo taken with a Minolta SR-T101 camera mounted on a 203.2mm Meade LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope f/6.3using Kodak Royal Gold 200 ASA film with an exposure of 1 second at 8:30 PM on May 10, 2002 in New York, NY. Brighter Venus has just overtaken Mars in its journey higher in the sky. At this point the two were less than 20 arcseconds apart, less than the apparent diameter of the moon, and fit into the eyepiece of my Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope.
