Three of the four Galilean Moons are visible in this picture along with, of course, Jupiter. (The fourth one might be to the far right...)
Thought they were a linear smudge or reflection from the planet until I realised they were three distinct other objects. Felt a whoosh of excitement with that revelation!
Taken with my mobile phone up to the lens of our telescope in 2016.
Hoping for a few more opportunities in 2024 for astronomy and astrophotography, here’s my first shot/s of 2024, the conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon. Two exposures used, to try and capture a few of Jupiter’s moons, combined in Affinity Photo. Equipment used in the alt text. #astronomy#astrophotography#jupiter#moon
I had a great balcony for low effort astrophotography back when I lived outside Geneva. The summer of 2019 was particularly good, and both Jupiter and Saturn were visible every night. I got some great shots of Jupiter with its moons, like this one here.
These are single shots with a 135mm lens and 500ms exposure. I got inspired by a friend that did proper astrophotography with tracking and stacking and all, which sounded like a lot of fun!
The image is a composite - I took separate photos for each with the telescope and the phone. The original photo looks something like this through the binoculars:
But you can zoom into the first photo and you can even see Jupiter's moons :)

En train de lire le résumé de la conférence de presse de Jupiter, ça dégouline de « Vieille France » à base de « Travail, famille, patrie ». Un bon programme de droite dure comme on aime 🥹
