Wonderful shot. I tried to get the moon and Jupiter together last week and failed miserably. I'll have to look into that program.

Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

I've been intrigued by Jupiter in the last few days,
with the 300mm and shooting at 1000+ ISO for about 1 sec, I was able to also catch 3 of the moons

Shot at 1/60 Iso 200 300mm and a 2x teleconverter I did get some detail of jupiter, but the image is tiny even at 100% crop the planet is no larger than 60 pixels or so

Thinking of an image where Jupiter and the moon are combined, would be an interesting exercise, the moon I usually shoot at 1/250 f8 .. f11 iso 200 and that would make Jupiter very faint, Jupiter needs about 4 times that exposure , so it is probably a matter of combining 2 shots in post processing ... probably easily done in your favorite PP software, doing it with deepsky, I'm not sure, I'm still learning this deepsky program , the help file is not very good and it is particularly confusing when talking about the dark and light frames that need to be taken so it calibrates the adjustments to the stacked image.

Play with it , it is exciting what can be accomplished.
