Simon Allcock took this picture of the constellation Gemini (with the planet Jupiter shining brightly within it) on the 9th January 2014. He used a Canon 600D with a Tamron 200 mm lens mounted on a tripod, a 4 second exposure at f6.3 and 800 ASA. In this wide angle shot Jupiter's moon Ganymede can still be picked out right against the planet in the 7 o'clock position. The bright stars Castor and Pollux appear close to the left edge of the frame. |
