Hi,
Given the ongoing apparition of these 2 planets in the western sky, I had to point the scope at them and get some shots, I didn't want to wait til it got dark as the planets would only get nearer to the horizon and become blurred, so I got them in daytime,

and form completion, here's one of Saturn , it was only a few degrees above to roof of a house so you can image the heat swirls causing bad seeing... and thet was when it was crossing the meridian !
