Great series! Jupiter and Her Moons is staggering!

Lovely series. I like the image of Jupiters moons also. I was stunned to realize that I can actually see Saturns rings with a 12x binoculars if the air is clear and dry.

Here is a frame from a 10D seven years ago with the moon and Jupiter captured in the same frame with a 300mm lens, at a time when Jupiter was very near the moon. ISO 100, f8 1/500th seconds.

I, too, was blown away by the Jupiter moons shot. I had no idea that was possible without a telescope. Well done.
