Darren, the moon has no real effect because of the very short exposures being used and the brightness of Jupiter. The only problem might happen if the moon was very close to Jupiter and some reflected light came directly into the camera, but I've never seen that happen.

Moonlight is a blessing for planetary imagers, we can see where we're going for a change :-)

cheers, Bird
