Details:
This composite picture of Jupiter disappearing behind the waning crescent moon's bright limb is made up of (cropped) individual frames spanning about 90 seconds, excerpted from a 10-minute-long video of the event. Unfortunately, my older DSLR is not very adept at capturing high dynamic range events such as this, and it failed to record the galilean moons unless I blew out the planet or the lunar surface. The view was so much prettier to the human eye! We were lucky to catch this rare phenomenon; the weather turned out better than forecast, with mostly clear skies but moderate gusty winds resulting in poor seeing. Celestron C9.25 SCT, 2X Barlow + Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector, Nikon D5300 in 1080p video mode.
