Jupiter with all four Galilean moons labeled. A Philips Webcam SPC900NC was used with a Celestron 8 inch f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and Baader planetarium contrast filter.
Day 3 of 3 started off shooting closeups of Jupiter while waiting for the Venus to rise, with hopes of being able to catch a very thin, dim waning crescent close to sunrise

Shot of Jupiter. Jupiter is as close to the earth as it will get for the next 300 years or so. This is straight from the camera except for cropping. I used a kit lens, 250 mm, f5.6, 0.5 sec. Even managed to see the moons.
Frankly, I'm amazed it came out as well as it did. I know there's a lot better shots out there.
Jupiter with two of its moons visible, Io as the bright spot next to Jupiter and Europa just about visible towards the top right of the picture.
