Very nice, Greg; you wrote:
"I was able to get a snap of the conjunction at 22: 59: 42 UT 21 Dec 2020 with a planet to planet distance of 6.2', I'm happy with it :)"
Based on the attached screenshots I get:
difference in GHA: 2.8’
difference in Dec: 5.7’
which (using Option 3 from Frank’s post) gives the separation of 6.3'
