Better than Galileo



No, not that I am better than Galileo!  But, my camera does have more magnification at 300mm than Galileo did  in 1609-1610 when he first turned his eyes to Jupiter.  And at a complete surprise to me, on a clear fall night in NY I was able to capture this picture of Jupiter with my camera...and yup, those are the Galilean moons surrounding it.  COOL!
