Good evening fellow stargazers!
In addition to October being this blogger's favorite month of the year because it ends with my favorite holiday of the year, Halloween, this month will also be very interesting in terms of stargazing and night sky photography of the planets and fall constellations.
Tonight, October treats us to the first of two close meetings in the night sky of our lovely Luna and Jupiter, the largest planet in out Solar System. The second meeting will take place on the evening of Saturday, October 28th during the Full Hunter's Moon.
Tonight, Luna is currently in her Waning Gibbous Moon phase following the Full Harvest Moon a few days before.
This evening, about an hour ago, I captured the pair between the branches of two trees, and even captured all four of Jupiter's largest and visible moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Five moon and a large planet all in one frame between the trees.

Well my friends, I hope y'all enjoyed these photos. Good clear skies willing I'll be able to hopefully capture these two again during October's Full Moon on the 28th....just three days before Halloween.
