This composite image shows last night's gorgeous full Hunter's Moon and brilliant nearby Jupiter. The insets show more detailed views of the full Moon and Jupiter with it's 4 Galilean moons at the time that the wide-field image was captured.

Wide-field image: Canon T3i DSLR with 55-250mm lens @ 135mm, tripod.
High magnification insets: Celestron Omni 150XLT reflector, ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera, SkyWatcher EQ6R mount

Wide-field image: A short exposure (ISO-800, f/7.1, 1/2000 sec) that captured lunar detail was blended with a longer exposure (ISO-800, f/7.1, 1/1000 sec) that revealed Jupiter.
High magnification insets: 1000 frames of video were captured and the best 100 frames stacked using AutoStakkert, wavelets adjusted using Registax, other post-processing with Photoshop and MS Photo.
