Moon and Jupiter
10

I was taking a picture of the Moon just before sunrise today when I noticed a bright planet nearby. It looked like Jupiter (Saturn is yellower and Venus never gets that far from the Sun).

No, they weren't actually that close - more like 10x further away. But I just re-targeted Jupiter and used the same settings on the cam.

I converted the Moon to B&W because I didn't like the brownish tinge the SD1 gave it. Left Jupiter in color, FWIW. There were a very faint couple of pixels nearby Jupiter that might have been one of the Galilean satellites, but I did not check for their expected locations.
