November 28 - Neighbours

There is a bright star next to the Moon tonight. It looks much closer than this with the naked eye.
If I can believe the iPad app, the star is Jupiter.

1/100s f/11.0 at 500.0mm iso200 full exif

Excellent shot. Saw it earlier - a lovely sight.

hmm...good enough to tempt me to open the window for 1/100 sec...perhaps

Thanks Brian I did notice them myself just now, but did not realise it was Jupiter.
Noticed too that the lens is a 50 to 500 zoom.
Waiting for my lens filter/uv protector to arrive,so I can get out to use the new lens.

I noticed that too - through the window from the warm :o)

Looks fantastic, just been out to have a look at it.

So it's a planet and not a star ;-) Great capture. V.

Beautifully caught; and I believe you are right... -- I've been watching Jupiter all year.... V.
