The Moon and Jupiter were close together Saturday evening. The moon will be next to Saturn on Monday evening.I tried out the Nikon Coolpix P1000 on the Moon and Jupiter tonight. Its zoom lens extends to the equivalent of a 3000mm lens on a full size camera.
There were three moons of Jupiter visible when we started and then a fourth one popped into view. According to Sky and Telescope, it was Io. If I had been using a telescope, I would have been able to see Io's shadow on Jupiter's disk.
