1 planet, 5 moons

[johnfosteruk]

Two exposures with the 200mm, both at F9/ISO 100. One at 1/2s and the other at 1/200s to expose for the Jovian system and our Moon separately.

Then some layer masking and levels adjustments in Photoshop, job done. It's got novelty value

[Sunshine]

love this shot, kind of surreal in a way.

Nicely done John, took similar earlier never thought of trying to catch Jupiters moons.

Attached is how NOT to take this shot . Got 1 moon I think...

Thanks Sunshine, it is a little isn't it. HDR applied to lunar and planetary imaging

Cheers Dave, although I'm pleased with the image I'm kind of wishing I hadn't bothered as by the time I was done processing it and I was ready to go out for some proper lunar it was all cloudy. Sod's law really.

Yep, Ganymede unless I'm much mistaken. and that's how one of my shots looked (minus cloud ) before I combined them so nowt wrong with it at all.

Here's my efforts with 300mm and 200mm lenses, only one Moon

Nicely done. I bet they're there if you stretch them, especially the 300mm.

Would it not beat Callisto? Looks further away from Jupiter so more likely out of the glare?

Managed to catch Zubenelgenubi in this other one, extreme bottom right corner

Silly me. You’re right of course. 

I thought about Zubenelgenubi when I was prepping the shot but decided to crop tight to Jupiter for a bigger image so you could see the moons.

Very nice indeed, John.  First time I've seen this done and really great idea.

[Captain Scarlet]

I had the same idea that night, also used my 200mm ... https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/315104-4-moons-in-one-shot/ ... aside from the Moons, Zubenelgenubi are just discernible in my version if you zoom it up and know they're there

Cheers, Magnus

Great image John,

Here's one I got two years ago.
