Jupiter & moons

Jupiter & moons
Today I flickered past another photo community I once visited often, and realised I hadn't posted this image here. In 2013, with Jupiter high and bright, I wanted a photo of Jupiter with its moons. It was easier said than done! Although I could get Jupiter, in long telephoto the long exposures needed for the moons resulted in significant motion blur. The only alternative was a very high ISO (12800 @ 1/50) which left Jupiter just a bright white circle. So I did the "HDR thing" and substituted a correctly exposed Jupiter image. Best viewed on black.

This is great! That's exactly what I did to get both Jupiter and it's moons exposed properly. But, I used a regular daytime ISO and about a 1/30 of a second.

Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, the Jupiter part of my image was taken on something like those settings, it was the moons part that needed the extra ISO for them to show up.
