This was a composite image.

Nice pic. What did you use to capture Jupiter and the moons?

Thanks for the compliment. I used my 100-400 @400mm

OK thanks, that's great, I didn't know you can even capture that with a 400.

I made my first attempt at Jupiter and moons last night, but couldn't get the right exposure... had nothing other than the planet. Gonna try again tonight if it stays clear.

Here's mine. I blended two images from 100-400L at 400mm f/8 on the 7D ISO200. Jupiter and the moon are at 1/250, but processed independently, to brighten Jupiter and increase contrast on the moon. Jupiter's moons are at 1/4s, processed to brighten them a bit. Moons left to right are Europa, Io and Callisto. At the pixel level you can easily see Jupiter's two main belts.

This was about an hour before closest approach, which was a bit too late for me here in UK. Not dedicated enough, I know.

Excellent work! And thanks for sharing your methods.

Thanks StillCrazy, and you're welcome.
