Jupiter and Perseids Meteor Shower August-12-2021


Since the skies were clear I thought I'd give astrophotography a try.


15 sec shot of Jupiter at f 5.6 iso 3200 300mm

10 sec shot of Jupiter at f 5.6 iso 3200 300mm 

4 sec shot of Jupiter at f 5.6 iso 3200 300mm

2.5 sec shot of Jupiter at f 5.6 iso 3200 300mm

Cropped photo of Jupiter. I'm assuming  at least four of Jupiter's moons are visible. Io, Europa Ganymede or Callisto.  

Another cropped photo of Jupiter with it's four moons.

A random shot of the night sky.

Seems like this may be a photo of the Perseids Meoeor Shower. Photo taken at 2.5 sec f 5.6 iso 3200 
70 mm


Trail lights from an aircraft. Full frame 2.5 sec 

Cropped photo of trail lights from an aircraft.


All photographs were taken between 12:00am and 2:45am with a Nikon D610 and a Nikkor 28-300mm  telephoto lens .
I may try another  attempt of photographing Jupiter and the Perseids Meteor Shower using my Sigma 150-600mm.
