Jupiter and the Moon


There is a conjunction of the Moon w/ Jupiter for a couple of days. Not a real pretty one - they aren't all that close. However, a test for me to see how decent a picture I can get of it. The shutter was open for a very long time so the wind and my own shaking would cause images to blur. I did manage this one and also picked up a faint star below Jupiter. Think it's Deneb Algedi in Capricorn.
