The Moon and Jupiter

We went to see Star Wars in 3D at the cheap show tonight and when we came out we were treated to seeing the moon with Jupiter at 10 o'clock.

I expect we can too - might wait for the full moon but this does look full! Super shot!

@danette - Telescope? That should give you some great close ups of the moon! I look forward to seeing them!

[Danette Thompson]

@skipt07 Yeah...I saw Jupiter after the clouds cleared last night. I need to just learn how that thing will work!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot! I was trying to get it too- but mine did not come out as nicely as this!

@olivetreeann - Set your camera to manual mode and use these settings.
ISO - 200
Aperture- f/11
Shutter speed - 125 of a second
If you have a filter on your lens take it off. You can hand hold your camera using these settings.

@skipt07 Thanks Skip! I'll write that down and see if I can get it with my Powershot (as that's the one that has the zoom for my moon shots).
