I’ve been watching and taking pictures of Jupiter & Saturn with the Moon over the last couple of nights on the beach as you can see from my previous Astroblogs.
Tonight though, Jupiter had a close meeting with the full Moon and it looked just lovely in the early evening sky at 6pm.
If you look closely at Jupiter you can see three tiny moons beside the planet. (Quite incredible you can pick them up with just a zoom camera lens!)
We are away at the moment and these images were taken at a beautiful place called Cotton Tree Holiday Park at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast.
I used a Canon 70D camera and an 18-400mm Tamron lens on an ordinary tripod, the exposure was 1/8th second and ISO100.

The full Moon image above was taken later at 6.20pm using the same lens set at 400mm, with an exposure of 1/60th second and ISO100. (15 images were taken and stgacked in RegiStax6 and processed in Photoshop CS4)
