Moon and Jupiter

[GreatAttractor]

The recent Moon-Jupiter close encounter prompted me to shoot a quick comparison photo through the window. Of course this is a composite image, the actual separation in the sky was around 6 degrees (or 12x apparent Moon diameter). Angular diameters: Moon 29'57", Jupiter 38".

Shot with PGR Chameleon mono, Travel Scope 50. Moon with Baader IR-pass 685 nm, Jupiter with Baader green 500 nm, around 1000 frames each:

Neat idea

Nice idea and great detail on the moon. Also just make out the bands of Jupiter when viewed full size.

Thanks!

I've just noticed that the forum engine recompressed it and somewhat blurred the smallest lunar details. Here's the original:
