Folks,

I took a few shots of the Moon one night last week as it looked like it was going to line up nicely with Jupiter and Spica.

As this was a wide field, at least for a scope ;) , I pitched the camera on the tripod with its 200mm lens and took a few short shots :D

Of course, this is a composite of several shots because of their vast difference in brightness and size, the interesting parts are shown at 100% in their relative positions...the background is itself one of the shots :)

Cheers,
Dunk

Thanks Rick, Lindon! It was too good an opportunity to miss, especially as the weather can't make its mind up recently.
