tiabunna's photos with the keyword: Jupiter

So good that the uploader is again working! I had to try it, though I've had fairly few opportunities for taking photos lately and I'll largely be going back to reposting file material. This was a new image though, of the much publicised conjunction between Jupiter (way down at the foot) and Saturn to its right. Down here in the Southern Hemisphere where it's summer, it wasn't near dark until they were slipping below the horizon - as seen here. Although this was taken on 17 December and the closest point wasn't until 21 December (when we had clouds and rain), it does seem to me that the "meeting" was somewhat over-sold! Best viewed large.

I was very impressed to see this great lunar halo last night, formed by a layer of icy high level cirrostratus cloud. On the left are Jupiter and Saturn, sitting just below Sagittarius (see PiPs). Best viewed large on black.

I was very impressed the other night by the clear overhead view of Scorpio and Jupiter (see notes for details). Best viewed large on black.

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.

A pleasing conjunction between the first quarter moon and Jupiter. I'd have needed more exposure to show Jupiter's moons. Does anyone know why the keywords on photos transferred from "the other site" are randomised and is there any way to prevent it? Taken with RMC Tokina 400mm 5.6 with Kenko X1.4 TC.
