I managed to capture the pair this evening using 4” refractor, a manual alt-azm mount, a 21mm eyepiece and my iPhone attached the eyepiece. The field of view with that combination eyepiece and telescope is just a little over 2°.
ThIs first picture is 37 minutes after sun set.

After getting some dinner and waiting for the skies to darken, I managed to get an airplane passing thru the FOV.

Finally got all the exposure and ISO settings dialed in for the iPhone and snapped a picture I’m happy with, see the 3rd picture.

Lastly, I took a nightscape shot just with my iPhone at 2x zoom on a tripod (10 sec exposure at 400 ISO using NightCap software).

I hope to continue to capture views, as the weather allows leading up the closest conjunction on the 21st.
Clear & Steady Skies!
