While setting up my telescope to view Jupiter, the Moon and Saturn, I thought I would try to take a picture of the three together. I went out on my deck, set up the tripod and shot several pictures of the moon and waiting for the right moment when I could get all three into the shot. Of course you can't get the moon in focus in such a shot without photoshopping the picutre, but I rather more enjoyed the radiance of the moon. This is kind of s celestial Mickey Mouse.
