HST passing Jupiter, with Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and Io

Hi All,

Here's a shot of Hubble passing Jupiter and it's 4 moons at 7:30 this evening. Unfortunately the HST was still quite faint as it passed Jup (brightening considerably as it neared the zenith), so I've had to adjust the levels quite a bit. Image taken using a tripod-mounted Pentax K100D and 300mm telephoto, 1.5 sec exposure at f/8 and 800 iso.

I'm glad to have captured another close pass like this, but the result is not quite as good as the one 3 months ago.

Anyway, here it is.

Cheers,
Stephen
