Default Moon & Jupiter
I thank Carolgentle for the heads up on this one. She had some great photos from her location in Scotland.
The clouds finally moved east just after sundown and I was able to get these images of the moon in "earthshine". Thanks Carol, I learned something today.

Those are nice shots, indeed. Can clearly see the moons of Jupiter and that earthglow is quite nice.

What did you use to shoot these, Kent?

I can't sleep , so I'm back up again ! Gee , nightshifts are a pain.

Anyways , soooooo glad a couple of UK'ers manged to get a couple of images of this conjunction. Carol did very well in her earlier post , not long started and you are bagging conjunctions with Earthshine. Superb.

Kent , way to go with that almost maxed out zoom ( 192mm ) , I'm sure I can just about make out three Galilean Moons .

Really impressed how quick you two have picked up WF Astrophotography, well done and keep it up.

Thanks Pete. Yes I got in a hurry and didn't turn the zoom all the way to max. I am so used to terrestial images where the light can change so quickly. I think I can slow down next time for a shot like this. I first mounted my 300mm, but couldn't get both in the frame. Here is a crop of frame #8069 showing the visible moons of Jupiter.
I appreciate your encouragement for us new people in this very interesting hobby.

Something caught my eye here , with the crop . Checked it out and I am reasonably sure you have caught all four Galilean Moons !

The bottom two are very close together and from your location may have been closer , also the time I checked was 17.54 Hrs.

Check it out

Great shots Kent. Glad the clouds cleared for you. Those moon shots are beautiful and getting the moons of Jupiter - excellent!

I'm just loving the hobby and thanks to the members of the forum am learning new things every day too. Look forward to seeing some more of your photos.

Clear skies.

Carol
