About this image

Jupiter and the moon captured during their conjunction which saw the two planets just 0.25° apart (from Earth's view point) Jupiter's moons are nicely grouped together so all are individually visible.

The insert image of Jupiter was captured a few minutes later than the wide field shot, and used the CCD camera (ZWOASI120MC) The seeing conditions weren't good, with cloud blowing through so quite happy with the details
