In addition to our moon - last night I managed to image Jupiter + 4 moons, Uranus+ 2moons and Neptune + moon Triton - a total of 8 moons all via same scope and thus to same scale !
Uranus and Neptune are overexposed in 3s exp each whilst Jupiter + moons and our Moon in 1/1000s  |

Love looking at your Astronomy posts. Thank you.
Was looking at some of your youtube and stumbled across the toilet roll digiscoping mount... Priceless?? 
Once again, thanks for sharing. |

Nick - glad you enjoyed the digiscoping vid 
Tonight's [Wed Nov 9] moonrise [alt ~6deg] via finderscope. Planet Jupiter was a degree or so lower right and both worth a view with binos etc  |
