All Rise!! was created by JohnMurphy
Was waiting to catch the moon and Jupiter rising tonight - however a fight ensued with sodium lights and positioning of camera - results could be better; Canon 350D and 300mm zoom lens on photo-tripod - low res versions below:

Whoa,
John!

Is that a true exposure!?
I neve thought you could get Jupiter and the moons like that
from just a camera.

Well Done!!! :shock:

Frank,

I was surprised to see the moons myself. It's amazing what a couple of seconds exposure will pick up on a 350D, much more sensitive than the eye.

The second image is magic, the moon is like a flash light in the sky, but can I ask, how is Jupiter trailed ?

John,
love the second image, even if a tad over-exposed! Nothing like seeing the Moon up close to some landscapes to give it a bigger character than it already has! ;)
