Anyone planning to capture the Tesla-Jupiter conjunction tomorrow morning?

I won't be but I would love to see yours  - perhaps you might get a specular reflection of the windshield!

I wonder if Musk has roadside assistance?

Boys,

no planets allowed here - this is the Deep Space Imaging forum - or is the Tessla already on its way out of the solar system?

There is a very faint fuzzy in the background Göran that might be a galaxy - but then it could be a Ford Transit Van as well.

No, it's a Galaxy: Ford Galaxy.

But that image wth Tesla & Jupiter: what happened to the rocket engine? How will that car end up in orbit?

phew - if it's a Ford Galaxy I'm in the right part of the forum. 

My understanding is that the last stage of the rocket detached from the Tesla when it completed it's burn - giving the Tesla enough velocity to proceed on its journey.  Indeed, the burn was a bit too much hence it's now heading for the asteroid belt.

Ouch, that's going to be a bumpy ride then. Hope Elon took out insurance.
