Description

Jupiter with 3 of its moons (Europa, Ganymede and Callisto)

This is my first attempt at planetary imaging.

A7iii with Sony 200-600mm, heavily cropped.

The a7iii has a pixel pitch of 5.91 µm. At 600mm i have 1.96 arcseconds per pixel. Jupiter covers around 39 arc seconds of sky at the moment giving me an image about 19 pixels across for the planet. I wont be blowing this up and putting it on the wall but I'm delighted to have been able to get a shot at all.
