Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter

They peeked through the clouds for just long enough for me to see them, but not long enough to get a picture. Anyone else see them or get a picture tonight?

Through the clouds.

Very bright Venus.....Dim distant and flickering Jupiter.

Awesome.

It was partly cloudy so I had hopes, but then smoke came in and covered everything.
