A sequence of photos on different nights, showing the relative motion of Saturn and Jupiter in the sky, and the motion of Jupiter's moons around their planet. The first three are at the same zoom enlargement -- this is zoomed in for the last four.
The Space Shuttle passes by, in the third photo.
On the later photos, I have adjusted the brightness of the two planets. You can even see Saturn's rings! And all with my walk-around camera, not an astronomical telescope. What technology we have nowadays!
There seem to be *five* moons of Jupiter on 12/20 -- though there are only four bright enough for me to see. Could a star be aligned exactly in the orbital plane??
