23-May-2019, Jupiter and Four of its Moons

This is by far the hardest picture I've taken of the night's sky, and of the smallest viewing angle. What you're looking at there is Jupiter, with four of its moons in orbit around it. Two in the top-right, two in the bottom left. It's rather difficult to make out of 'fourth' moon in the bottom left, as it is almost entirely eclipsed by Jupiter. I'll attach a closer picture where it's a little easier to make out the almost-eclipsed moon.

20-May-2019, The Moon

This is the best picture of the moon I've managed to make, and I'm quite proud of it. I set up my DSLR to point straight down into the eyepiece of my telescope for this image, which wasn't very easy to do. There's not much to be said - I like this image a lot.
