Jupiter - about as big as it gets

The oaks, Sydney, australia view map

As we swing around the Sun, Jupiter is as about as large as it gets.
This long exposure tripod shot is the image as seen straight out
of the camera* using a 800mm F8 Samyang mirror lens.
I checked the position and names of the moons/stars using
the public domain software stellarium http://www.stellarium.org )
Taken at about 10pm, looking North.
Best seen in Original size.
The Next image shows Jupiter in a Ultra Wide Angle.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Samyang 800mm F8 mirror
