Shoot RAW and fix in post. I used my D810 with Tamron 150-600 mm G2 set at 600 mm. F/6.3, 1/10 second, ISO 3200. Swap ISO and shutter speed if you like to follow the rule of 500, which I don't. Use a tripod. Turn OFF whatever vibration reduction your lens has. Retract mirror. Close shutter on viewfinder. Use LIVE VIEW to focus your lens (zoom in of course). Where I am located, the four largest moons of Jupiter are very evident. The rings of Saturn were positioned to make Saturn look elongated.

Good luck and have fun!

Love that shot! I did not do nearly as well with my EOS R and the same lens.

My neighborhood has quite a number of trees and I didn't know if the conjunction would be really visible. As a result I was caught completely flatfooted and unprepared to photograph it when I saw that it was low enough to the horizon to be below most of the canope. Since I would be shooting from the middle of the street and didn't know how much time I had to set up I grabbed the camera and a monopod. Camera Nikon 7100, lens Nikon 200-500 at 500mm, f 5.6, 1/100 sec., ISO 2500. What might seem an under exposure allowed the rings of Saturn to appear.

Exceptional shot! I never got close to this kind of photo. This was with EOS R and Tamron 150-600 G2. f/36, 1/13, ISO 5000, 600mm. Got too much going, I think, and really fumbled the aperture.

At least I was out there long enough to get some nice shots of the half moon and a sunset with a rare added feature. It was a pretty, though very chilly, evening here in northern Colorado. The first shot is from a little Canon Powershot I had along as a just-in-case. The second was shot with a Canon T6s & Canon 70-200 w/1.4 ext; f/5.6, 1/125, ISO 200, 98mm.

Really like the powershot photo! Brought to mind a flying manta ray with a tiny flying saucer just above (Jupiter?).

Merry Christmas to you.... John

Had to try like everyone else, but results far less than spectacular. This was only one that showed a couple of Jupiter moons. D500 with a sigma 100-400 racked out to EFV of 600mm at f/8, 1/60 and ISO at 10K! Only had a monopole available with manual tracking (me at 77). All in manual except auto iso.
