You're probably out trying to duplicate your picture taking prowess from yesterday but I wanted to post this map of the conjunction to help identify any of the Moons around Jupiter and Saturn, map courtesy of Stellarium:
I'm waiting for a frontal passage and the skies will be poor for my time to view...

Clear Skies!
Waste of time tonight, total cloud. If it is a moon on mine its Europa, its in the right position.
Think positive, it was a good waste of time.
You were investing time in a hobby to learn something new about the planets and diversions like these can help clarify other moments in our lives.
btw... I believe you're right about that moon being Europa, and I was clouded out.

Update on the Wow! 2020 signal.
Was this mystery radio signal really from Proxima Centauri? | Space | EarthSky
Is trusting in the reference to a slight change in frequency indicating the possibility of a source being a planetary orbit.
I hope that NASA arrange the next case of astronomical fever in the warmer months when the sky is clear!!!
