That's lovely Derrick and so much work to include the moons in the image.

It's so hard explaining to non astronomy type people that the only way to capture the reflected light from the moons is to overexpose the planets and cut the over exposed planet out and replace it with a correctly exposed image. Or maybe you did it through your stacking process, I'm not smart enough to do that and I do it the other way?
Very nice job, I know how much work is involved!


Not a criticism but there is a darker ring visible around Jupiter. What I tend to do is use the lasso tool in photoshop the match the diameter of the planet and then take an eye dropper sample from the background where the moons is and heal or whatever it's called. In me saying what I do, again, I'm too stupid so my son does a great job for me in less time than it takes me to even think about it.
