Jupiter just after sunset

Not only Jupiter, I've learned, is visible these days immediately after sunset, but so too are its moons.

This picture was a little while after sunset today when the sky was still quite bright. The uncropt picture I took with my 150mm lens, is inset with an enlarged and sharpened piece showing Jupiter and its two visible moons.

I hate to use anything that weighs me down and. although I was only two steps outside my kitchen door, I didn't want to bother with the tripod. So this was hand-held, literally, though my right arm *was* steadied against against the deck rail. :)
