Todays Jupiter graze of the moon late this afternoon
Took this picture with a homemade focal reducer using the lx90 and LPI. All pics stacked with autostarsuite on capture at 70% quality. First pic shows moons limb with jupiter, second pic just jupiter without the focal reducer . Note you can see two satellites and the great red spot in broad daylight!

Good one guys. I'll post mine as soon as I learn how to make an animated gif. It was a complete occulation here as well and I managed to get about 20 short avies.
Hi all

Wow - what a fantastic collection of daylight Jupiter/Moon images. It would have been unthinkable to attempt these a few years ago. It's incredible how technology has changed our hobby, and opened up so many different opportunities.
I mostly watched at the eyepiece of my Vixen 4" refractor and plugged my LPI in for a short period, with a TeleVue x2.5 Powermate, when I captured Jupiter just "touching" the Moon.
great shots fellas, here is my effort, my poor little pentax *istDS, 50-500 with 2 times teleconverter, circular polar finter and a little bit of photoshop taken newcastle King Edward Park
I learnt a lot from it. The biggest thing I learnt was to make sure your setting up 2 hours before the event to make sure everything is spot on and equipment is functioning fully. Not 3/4 of an hour and be rushed. BIG lesson to learn

Nice thought Paul but very hard to achieve sometimes
Well we both learnt from this then Paul, as I had the same headaches, which I won't go into. Your shots, as with all the others, are superb. Well done.
When is the next one??
