About this image

At the risk of overkill I went back to the short videos I'd taken on 20th December and realised that I had managed to capture the Galilean moons (along with a star in line with them) clearly in one video a minute after the stacked video image I previously posted.     I had a tricky observation point as my observatory is blocked from any view low to the South West and I am surrounded by houses.  In the end an upstairs bedroom with a makeshift bolt on of the 80mm scope to a camera tripod acted as an unstable but reliable mechanism for taking some short images without any filters.
