Jupiter and the Galilean Moons All in a Row

I couldn't resist getting an image of Jupiter with its four Galilean moons in a line last evening.

This is great, so often we see just Jupiter and maybe a token moon, seeing them in a wide image is always great!

Thanks, Sunshine! I was only planning to observe and when I saw this configuration of Jupiter and its moons I had to get a shot. It's actually a composite of two images: one exposed to capture the moons and the other to get detail on Jupiter. My 127mm gave me the focal length I needed to get all the moons in without making Jupiter look like a bright dot, lol.

Very nice...there is something special about wide shots of Jupiter and its moons
