Hyades, with Aldebaran on the left. Mars in the middle, with Pleiades to its right. California Nebula upper right.
Jupiter and Saturn
A once in a lifetime view. No digital manipulation was required to place these giant planets in the same field of view. This is exactly how it looked through an eyepiece. In a line from upper left to lower right of Jupiter are the Jovian moons Europa, Callisto, Io, and Ganymede. Edge HD 9.25" at prime focus with Nikon D810a. Single frame. 1/160s exposure and iso 1600, mirror lock up and cable release used.
