Holy schmoly...beautiful ozz...
Thirteenth sec...nice detail / contrast on the Moon, man!
lovely capture of Jupiter.
Wait! Wait! Waaaait!
Have you captured one of the Jovian moons, too...at four o'clock?
I enlarged it to confirm that it's not a speck on my screen! i cleaned it and cleaned it...
It's definitely one of the four Jovian beauties...
and it looks like there's something on the opposite side too...at about ten o'clock.
Wow!

Gee...for a thirteenth sec exposure...there's pretty good info there...ozz.
Thanks for sharing.

ozz....look...

well done, buddy!

edit:
aw shucks...i thought i enlarged and cropped them...
i'm so useless at this...plus this slow browser doesn't help.
i'm sure you can do the necessary...
sorry

I see the 4 o'clock one! but not the 10. Weren't all the moons about to be hidden by Jupiter at that time?

hey Mahesh

yeah i saw that when i was redoing the pic at around 4 aclock its io little guy is sure bright. and on the flip side its ganymede and europa, but hard to see them both. wonder why io is brighter maybe the fact thats its on the near side of the sun,

[mahesh]

only for a couple of hours...and not cutting a wide swathe of simultaneous invisibility, were they?...

there's something at half past nine-ish hhEb..

edit:
ozz, plus the albedo of the moon, whichever it is, on the other side..makes its luminosity different

just the normal (microsoft) magnification of the image..enables me to detect, should i say, something at halv tio.
and my eyesight isn't that hot...am glad that i do resolve that small...er...sometimes.

Hello ozz:
Good shot, I like the effect of that Moon.
Many greetings

That's cool. This was a few days ago now so the separation has since rapidly increased. I spied a planet last night a bit further to the West of the Moon. Looking at it through binoculars, I thought I spied a distinct gibbous shape and presumed it was Mars. But looking at the photos more closely, I think I can see moons.

What do you think? Does the planet look gibbous shaped to you?

Thanks for all images, gentlemen. The first shows me how close the human eye gets to resolving Jupiter's disc by comparison with Luna.
