Watching Jupiter set seemed to be a major theme of this past summer's vacation. ;-)
Another shot from a very cold and clear night at Newberry National Volcanic Monument in Oregon. That's Jupiter just about to set over East Lake. Consider for a moment how that little blip is 2.5 times more massive than all the other planets in our Solar System combined.
Technical info: Thanks to Mtnguyd for pointing out the EXIF data seems to be partially stripped. The specs were: 30 sec, F4, 17 mm at 800 ISO.
Almost identical to one of my old shots... Except this was taken while the ship was still in view...
Someone has told me... the sky looked like the surface of the planet Jupiter...
===
Sorry... it's kinda like a repost... but it is technically a different shot... well, 5% different! hahaha
Hope everyone's having a great weekend... coz I am! :)
WinJUPOS Test
Jupiter movie of the 02/01/2013 Derotated in WinJUPOS and Stacked in Avistack2 as three monochromatic movies.
Celestron 8 + XCel 2x Barlow lens and SPC900NC
Bad seeing condition and bad collimation, from the balcony of my home.
There are a lots of artifacts as "onion rings" and ugly colors. Critics are welcomes.
Jupiter, M44 (Beehive Cluster), satellites and the amazing aurora last night.
I've never seen this much red in the aurora before!
In Kiruna, Sweden

Self-timer shot taken during a night spent on the summit of Mount Brévent (2.525 m), over Chamonix.
Taken on March 14th 2012, looking West, just to show the last light of the sun already gone, and, even more important, the beautiful shining presence of two planets: Jupiter and Venus.
On the right of the two planets mentioned, in this photo you can see: Hamal (Alpha Arietis), Sheratan (Beta Arietis), the brightest stars in the constellation of Aries.
Center: Almaak, Mirach, Alpheratz, of Andromeda constellation.
More to the North (up on the far right) is visible the Cassiopeia constellation, with Ruchbah, y Cas, η Cas, Caph, Shedir...

Please Enjoy Viewing Large on Black
Summer has arrived in full swing, and the Milky Way's silver threads sparkle with clouds of stars. Here we view of a hallmark of this summer's sky: Jupiter within the Sagittarius constellation. A double treat for me to get this capture as I happen to be a Sag! ;-)
By the way: if you're curious about why Jupiter basically appears as white in color, it's due to that fact that most of Jupiter's clouds are frozen anhydrous ammonia. In terms of true stars and not planets, the blue ones tend to run hotter, while the reds are cooler. And no, that's not sunset colors... it's light pollution from Fort Collins, CO (this was taken after midnight).
As my hero Jack Horkheimer always says, Keep Looking Up!
I just got back from spending a few days in Florida, this is a beach shot that I took while in Jupiter. This is a very fun beach to work because of all the great sandstone there.Thanks for looking and your comments....
5D 17-40
Jupiter rising above rock formations in Bryce Canyon.
This is a composite image, the stars were shot at ISO6400, 25sec, F4, 19mm and the rocks were ISO400, 25sec, F4, 19mm with some light painting then blended together. I haven't done much star shooting yet and my16-35mm lens is only an F4 so it's going to be a learning curve for me.
The speckled object depicted here is Callisto, Jupiter’s second largest moon. This image was taken in May 2001 by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which studied Jupiter and its moons from 1995 until 2003.
Similar in appearance to a golf ball, Callisto is covered almost uniformly with pockmarks and craters across its surface, evidence of relentless collisions. In fact, Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in the Solar System. The moon is made up of equal parts of rock and ice – the brighter parts of Callisto’s surface are thought to be mainly water ice, whereas the darker patches are regions of highly eroded and ice-poor rocky material.
Callisto is roughly the same size as the planet Mercury, but only about a third of the mass. It is the outermost of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites, a group consisting of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. It orbits relatively far away from Jupiter compared to these other satellites: it lies 1 880 000 km from the planet, roughly 26 times the radius of the planet itself. While this in itself is not unusual – our Moon orbits at some 60 times Earth’s radius – the important thing is Callisto’s isolation from its neighbouring moons. Callisto’s closest neighbour is Ganymede, which orbits 800 000 km closer to Jupiter.
This isolation means that Callisto does not experience any significant tidal forces from Jupiter that would tear at its structure. It also does not show any signs of geological processes such as volcanism or plate tectonics, which we clearly see on moons that are involved in violent cosmic tugs-of-war with Jupiter, such as Io, Europa and Ganymede. Callisto remains relatively intact and is a witness of the early Solar System: its surface is the oldest terrain, at a truly ancient four billion years.
This image is the only complete full-colour view of Callisto obtained by Galileo. The spacecraft provided us with a great deal of information about the jovian system: as well as sending the first probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter, and measuring Jupiter’s composition and dynamics, it observed Io’s volcanism, sent back data supporting the idea of a liquid ocean on Europa, and probed the properties of Ganymede and the subject of this image, Callisto. It also managed to observe the famous Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 colliding with Jupiter in 1994.
The jovian system will be visited again in the not-too-distant future. In 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and start to beam back images of the planet’s poles. Later, ESA’s Juice, short for JUpiter ICy moons Explorer, planned for launch in 2022, will tour the system with the aim of making a breakthrough in our knowledge of the giant gaseous planet and its environs, especially the intriguing moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

Jupiter is stranger than we knew. NASA's Juno spacecraft has now completed its sixth swoop past Jupiter as it moves around its highly elliptical orbit. Pictured, Jupiter is seen from below where, surprisingly, the horizontal bands that cover most of the planet disappear into swirls and complex patterns. A line of white oval clouds is visible nearer to the equator. Recent results from Juno show that Jupiter's weather phenomena can extend deep below its cloud tops, and that Jupiter's magnetic field varies greatly with location. Juno is scheduled to orbit Jupiter 37 times with each orbit taking about six weeks.

Jupiter Setting - photographed last month (January 2015) from Hickory Run State Park, Pennsylvania. Can you find the Big Dipper? Canon 6D and Lensbaby Fisheye lens.
We took a road trip down to Jupiter to see the lighthouse. This view is from Bubba Gump's Restaurant Patio. I believe you have a better photo opportunity at Bubba Gump's than you do in the actual Lighthouse park. Canon 70D - Sigma 17-50mm, HDR
In a sense of continuity with the previous shot, I am posting also this one, embracing a much wider visual field.
Shot taken during one of the many nights spent on the summit of mount Rocciamelone (3,538 m - 11,608 ft), Susa valley, Italy.
From the left to the right we have: Viù valley, Turin, Susa valley.
Far away the gaze gets lost in the nocturnal mists of the Po Valley.

Leica M9 + Jupiter 3 Blog Post - matthewosbornephotography.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/leica-...
the abandoned Jupiter Factory Pripyat, the story was that the factory made tape recorders. but really the factory was making military equipment for the army.
Jupiter, the most massive planet in our solar system -- with dozens of moons and an enormous magnetic field -- forms a kind of miniature solar system. Jupiter does resemble a star in composition, but it did not grow big enough to ignite. The planet's swirling cloud stripes are punctuated by massive storms such as the Great Red Spot, which has raged for hundreds of years.
