Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
Single frame. Observing conditions were extremely unfavorable: planets low on the horizon, severe light pollution, wind, and variable cloud cover.
Observations were made on 12/23/20 (two days after the planets' closest approach) from 17:10 to 17:30 Moscow time from a balcony.
Imaging was done with single frames, no light pollution filter used.
Distance between the planets:
At the closest approach on 12/21/20 – 5-6 arcminutes (or 1/5 of the Moon's disk);
At the time of observation on 12/23/20 – 13-14 arcminutes (less than half of the Moon's disk).
Only three moons are visible around Jupiter because Callisto was transiting the disk at that moment.
