Hawksmoor 1,525 Posted June 17, 2019 "One of these is very large and a long way away, the other is much smaller but nearby" "No I'm still not getting it Ted" Composite of two images at different exposures to accommodate the wide dynamic range of luminosity of the two bodies. Canon 600D Canon camera with an EOS 90-300mm. telephoto lens at f=300mm. on a fixed tripod. 2 Link to comment
astro_log 17 Posted June 18, 2019 Awesome shot! It is just unbelievable how much larger Jupiter actually is. I tried to do a similar shot but didn't get a good image, yet. Link to comment

I cannot use my big refractor on its pier to get close up video of either planet. My neighbour's roofs get in the way. I might try with my 90mm Mak on a Star Adventurer mount. Less aperture but more mobility may win the day! Best regards George. Link to comment
