I don’t normally follow the planets but I happened to hear that Jupiter would be close tonight. This is as close as I could get with my 400mm lens. I think I actually see a little color on Jupiter but perhaps that is just the camera – I am not sure.
Any one else get it?
Not bad at all for 400mm handheld. . . . Didn’t see it, so it’s nice that you shared this.
This came out great, Eloine. Your shot does seem to show a bit of color in Jupiter. We didn’t go out at all tonight and wouldn’t have seen it at all – so thanks!
Very well done?
Very well done!
That is very well done, Eloine! Nice shot handheld! With my eyes I prpbably wouldn’t even have seen Jupiter! So thanks for sharing this fine photo.
Nice Eloine! This came out beautiful. A couple of my friends used a telescope to capture this as well.

He does have a little color in some of his!
Lovely image, Eloine. A brief tour of your 76%-illuminated lunar surface – a good phase for viewing Luna’s features: Craters Clavius and Tycho (à la “2001: A Space Odyssey”) are prominent below right, just above the terminator (shadow arc). Above left, the terminator bisects the west rim of Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains). In the center, just above the terminator, is the crater Copernicus, chiseled out of the lunar surface by a multibillion-ton asteroid about 800 million years ago. Now THAT would have been a spectacle to view from Earth.
