All 4 Galilean moons visible. Lovely shot.
There used to be a great website showing their current positions but it seems to have disappeared.
This is about the best I could find.

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.

With a 'normal' camera even on tripod, the difficulty is initially locating the dancing dot as the slightest touch on your lens moves it out of frame.
Then manual focus probably best but above all expose for a *relatively* bright object it is a bit like taking a photo of the moon in that respect I.e. You will just get a glaring bright disc with no detail unless you use a setting not that different to a daylight exposure on earth.
Very nice shot.
Jupiter reaches opposition on 26 September 2022, making it a great time to observe the gas giant and its moons.

Jupiter is often a beginner's first planetary observation - after looking at the Moon. Then Mars and Saturn.

I use an app called sky lite, you just point it at the planets/stars and it ids them for you

I downloaded it yesteday from PS. Cool. You don't even need to wait for it to get dark and you can use it indoors, alround 360°.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Heads up for Jupiter and Saturn tonight. Very visible to the SE and SW ish.Roger
I've seen Jupiter very well from my current location in fact I can see so many stars that the milky way is clearly visible, I love it here in the midi Pyrenees. It's also so very quiet that all you can hear is nature.
Moons moved round quite a bit now, used much lower exposure to get a hint of detail (Sony, 600mm f5.6 - 1/160s ISO100)
A good picture

Most impressive!
If you are going out look SE at Moon and Jupiter with Saturn to the South. Fantastic. 20.20hrs.Roger
Dramatic view of Moon and Jupiter now - follow the progress. 20.00hrs.
