I've been wanting to try this for some time. Clear skies over Manila coincided with too much time in my hands early this evening. So I stacked most of my TCs on my favorite long zoom and tried to locate Jupiter in the viewfinder. Not an easy thing to do with 4800 mm - 12800 mm angle of view, and with the aperture at f/90.5 (wide open). I did stop down to f/128 to "improve IQ." ;D ;D ;D Here's a couple of short clips of Jupiter as seen from Metro Manila, Philippines, on November 8, 2009 (19:30 - 20:00 local time). Shooting info: First clip - 5D2 + Sigmonster + Canon 2x/Sigma 2x/Tamron 2x TCs, 6400 mm, f/64, ISO 6400, 1/30 sec.
Second clip - 5D2 + Sigmonster + Canon 2x/Sigma 2x/Tamron 2x TCs + Sigma 1.4x/Tamron 1.4x TCs, 12800 mm, f/128, ISO 12800, 1/30 sec.
For both clips - Manfrotto 475B/3421 support, 1080/30p capture cropped to 960x540/30p.

Hehe, thanks Paolo! Surprisingly Mars and Venus are very tough to image because of their featureless disks. Jupiter and Saturn are actually easier to shoot. You should try this with your 800 IS, borrow additional TCs from Tina and Tonji/Sylvia!

Thanks, Toto and Bobby! Aside from relieving the itchy shooting finger, astro photography is good practice for effective long lens technique.

Thanks, Den and Edu! Here's a single still exposure taken before I filmed the originally posted footage. I could see the three brighter moons in the viewfinder, but I couldn't see the fourth one (the faint dot right below Jupiter) with my eye at the VF before the shot. Not sure if that one is a moon, or a shooting artifact (noise or dead/hot pixel). _______________________________________ Addendum - thanks to a link posted by Lee Jay at DPR*, the moons are now ID'ed. ;D Top to bottom: 1. Europa 2. Io 3. Callisto 4. Ganyemede * forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=33650831_______________________________________

Just when I thought the video and still were the pinnacle.. here comes news that the MOONS were also photographed!!! Now I'm split between wanting to see you bird more, or wish you had more free/idle time in your hands.. *evil grin

Jeebus, amazing capture, Romy! Congradulations getting this much detail of Jupiter and the the moons aswell. I've never seen a photo of Jupiter taken with a DSLR before, not that big anyway Thanks for sharing.
