Lunar Jupiter Conjunction with the Jovian Moons Visible by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

The Lunar-Jupiter conjunction of November 28, 2012 was photographed using a Canon t2i and a Canon 100mm f/2.0 lens at f/4.0. A cluster of trees provided a great foreground to frame the approaching conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon. Using the 100 mm prime lens, the Jovian moons are barely visible when looking at Jupiter. After taking the photograph, I enlarged it on the viewfinder and was quite surprised to see three of Jupiter's moons.

How many moons can you see in this picture? Our moon - within hours of its peak fullness - is obvious. But in fact you can easily see four moons...plus a planet! Hovering in the corner of the image is Jupiter, with three of its moons clearly visible (Europa and Io on one side, and Callisto on the other side of Jupiter). Technically, there are actually five moons in this photo, but Ganymede is in transit across the face of Jupiter and washed out in its light.

Look closely at Jupiter...you may just be able to pick out the cloud bands on the surface!

This photo is a composite of three images taken in succession at different exposure settings to bring out the levels of detail in our moon (very bright), Jupiter (fairly bright), and Jupiter's moons (faint).

Thanks for looking

In the picture we can see the conjunction of the moon and Jupiter, you can see with a little attention Galineanos satellites (From left to right: Europa, Io, Ganymede, Callisto).
