That is really nice. You should get that printed out and look at it often in your work space or home.

What settings on the dslr?

Nice Danny

Thats a cool shot. Not seen it done like that before with all 4 of the moons caught in frame. Well done

[DannyHarvey]

I took 2 movies - one exposed for the moons and one so as not to blow out the planet. The Backyard EOS was set to record video in the 5 x mode. The camera was set to 200 ISO I don't remember the other settings!

I created 2 pictures in Registax 6, one for the Moons and 1 for Jupiter and combined them in photoshop.

Beautifully done!

Nice one Danny - the GRS and surface detail are excellent and the setting amongst the 4 moons is very good.

[DannyHarvey]

This was an un-planned shot - sort of a "lets see if I can capture that" moment! I may revisit the idea but try to get more resolution.

very nice image, made all the better by the moons. its always nice when you see an image that will inspire others to have a go and copy it.

[DannyHarvey]

thanks for the kind comments! I'm inspired to improve on it myself! A bit more resolution so it will blow up nicely is my first plan.

[SnakeyJ]

Problem is, if you're anything like me, the chances to image are just so rare and fleeting at the moment, that all the best laid plans go out the window as you frantically try and capture some data

With good conditions and bracketed exposure, I think you should be able to get some colour on the Jovian moons and perhaps some detail at longer focal lengths - though a challenge with dslr. I would like to do this myself, if we get the chance - but needs good seeing, favourable alignment and preferably a nice GRS transit. Not asking too much then
