Picked up the 2X converter to try out on some moon captures in the future, some far to reach animals when traveling, and for the convergence of Jupiter and Saturn.
With a clear cold and windy night tried out the converter on my 300mm making it 600mm. The two planets now are on opposite ends of the full frame ... but within two weeks they should be a lot closer ... about 1/5th the moon diameter apparent as seen in the sky.
Tried some various shutter speeds and ISO combinations to see what worked well.
The capture here is a combination of two captures, one centered on Jupiter and the other on Saturn. Then I brought the two together in Photoshop. They should be a lot closer than this come 12/21/20. Hoping for some clear nights as they get closer.
Will practice some other settings and live view focusing as that time approaches to see if even crisper images of the planets can be taken with the 300/2X combination.
If you view large, you can see the rings on Saturn, and also you can see 4 of the larger moons around Jupiter.
Drops Of Jupiter
Train
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star–
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
Going back through some files and found this one from November 2012. A great night of lightpainting at Goulburn with Ian Burrows and Ant Ginman. Hope you like "Drops Of Jupiter". Cheers, Mike
Last night was wonderfully clear, so I took the opportunity for a couple of shots of Jupiter as I had read somewhere that it is at its closest to Earth for around 59 years. I took two shots - one to expose it as a very bright disc that also shows the four larger moons, and the other to show some surface detail which I just managed to pick up in the form of a few cloud bands.
Not exciting shots, but I am a bit of a space nerd at heart, so I couldn't miss the opportunity.
Handheld shots taken almost straight up as Jupiter was almost overhead near midnight. Both shots are heavily cropped right down to around 5mp.

This is an image taken during the night of opposition (9th May 2018) at 01:40am using a 8" SCT telescope.
The atmosphere was very steady, even the view through the eyepiece was mesmerizing...
The moons are Io on the right and Europa on the left.
A cyclonic storm in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecaft. Many bright white cloud tops can be seen popping up in and around the arms of the rotating storm.
The color-enhanced image was taken at 9:25 a.m. PST (12:25 p.m. EST) on Feb. 12, 2019, as the spacecraft performed its 17th science flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) from the planet's cloud tops, above approximately 44 degrees north latitude.

The speckled object depicted here is Callisto, Jupiter’s second largest moon. This image was taken in May 2001 by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which studied Jupiter and its moons from 1995 until 2003.
Similar in appearance to a golf ball, Callisto is covered almost uniformly with pockmarks and craters across its surface, evidence of relentless collisions. In fact, Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in the Solar System. The moon is made up of equal parts of rock and ice – the brighter parts of Callisto’s surface are thought to be mainly water ice, whereas the darker patches are regions of highly eroded and ice-poor rocky material.
Callisto is roughly the same size as the planet Mercury, but only about a third of the mass. It is the outermost of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites, a group consisting of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. It orbits relatively far away from Jupiter compared to these other satellites: it lies 1 880 000 km from the planet, roughly 26 times the radius of the planet itself. While this in itself is not unusual – our Moon orbits at some 60 times Earth’s radius – the important thing is Callisto’s isolation from its neighbouring moons. Callisto’s closest neighbour is Ganymede, which orbits 800 000 km closer to Jupiter.
This isolation means that Callisto does not experience any significant tidal forces from Jupiter that would tear at its structure. It also does not show any signs of geological processes such as volcanism or plate tectonics, which we clearly see on moons that are involved in violent cosmic tugs-of-war with Jupiter, such as Io, Europa and Ganymede. Callisto remains relatively intact and is a witness of the early Solar System: its surface is the oldest terrain, at a truly ancient four billion years.
This image is the only complete full-colour view of Callisto obtained by Galileo. The spacecraft provided us with a great deal of information about the jovian system: as well as sending the first probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter, and measuring Jupiter’s composition and dynamics, it observed Io’s volcanism, sent back data supporting the idea of a liquid ocean on Europa, and probed the properties of Ganymede and the subject of this image, Callisto. It also managed to observe the famous Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 colliding with Jupiter in 1994.
The jovian system will be visited again in the not-too-distant future. In 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and start to beam back images of the planet’s poles. Later, ESA’s Juice, short for JUpiter ICy moons Explorer, planned for launch in 2022, will tour the system with the aim of making a breakthrough in our knowledge of the giant gaseous planet and its environs, especially the intriguing moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

I recently learned that NASA's JunoCam images are freely available for download and processing (it is even encouraged to do so: www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing#Welcome). So I had a try at it and can highly recommend it: the sense of exploring space and planets "on your own" is both, an exhilarating and humbling experience.
So once again last night while still in my pajamas standing on my driveway I used my tripod this time and different camera settings to photograph Jupiter and 4 of its moons before it disappeared behind all the trees on my street. It left my mouth open (much like the front door of my house allowing passing mosquitoes to find refuge in a cool living room environment) Taken with my Canon R5 and 100-500 lens
I made sure to set my alarm earlier than usual to enjoy the low-horizon conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.
Opposition is when a planet (further out in orbit than Earth) is opposite us in its orbit around the sun.
So when the sun sets, a planet at opposition rises!. You can enjoy seeing Jupiter all night, but it is easiest to spot low in the eastern sky in the evening and low in the western sky at sunrise.
Oppositions often occur when a planet is at its closest approach to Earth. During an opposition, a planet's full daylight faces side to us. So Jupiter really is brighter and (just a bit) bigger right now!
Jupiter at opposition is an astronomical event everyone can enjoy easily enjoy with their eyes, and if you have binoculars or a telescope, look for Jupiter's larger moons.

North is up. This image is derived from a single RGB run captured in Firecapture, stacked in Autostakkert, wavelet sharpened in Registax, and color channel derotated in WINJUPOS.
Seeing was Average at capture. I had hoped to stack and sharpen in PSS, but the result was disappointing. I have four more RGB captures that can be derotated and added to this data. I feel like I am missing something with PSS, which is still new to me. I'll take a deeper dive when time permits.
My son and cousin sat on top of one of the many hills in Jupiter Artland, a finalist for Museum of the Year 2016.
This impressive, sculpted landscape greets you as you first enter the museum - it's a great place for kids (and adults) to explore!

Summer has arrived in full swing, and the Milky Way's silver threads sparkle with clouds of stars. Here we view of a hallmark of this summer's sky: Jupiter within the Sagittarius constellation. A double treat for me to get this capture as I happen to be a Sag! ;-)
By the way: if you're curious about why Jupiter basically appears as white in color, it's due to that fact that most of Jupiter's clouds are frozen anhydrous ammonia. In terms of true stars and not planets, the blue ones tend to run hotter, while the reds are cooler. And no, that's not sunset colors... it's light pollution from Fort Collins, CO (this was taken after midnight).
As my hero Jack Horkheimer always says, Keep Looking Up!
In a sense of continuity with the previous shot, I am posting also this one, embracing a much wider visual field.
Shot taken during one of the many nights spent on the summit of mount Rocciamelone (3,538 m - 11,608 ft), Susa valley, Italy.
From the left to the right we have: Viù valley, Turin, Susa valley.
Far away the gaze gets lost in the nocturnal mists of the Po Valley.
