Jupiter and Saturn (September 2022).jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
Jupiter (bright at left in Pisces) and Saturn (dimmer at right in Capricornus) low in the southeast sky on a mid-September evening in 2022. Jupiter was then nearing its opposition, and a close one at that in 2022, appearing brighter than it usually does at opposition. Jupiter appears below the Square of Pegasus at upper left. This was from home in southern Alberta at latitude 51° N.

This is four tracked and stacked 1-mnute exposures blended with a single tracked 1-minute exposure for the ground, all with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at 18mm and f/2.8, and Canon R5 at ISO 1600, on the Star Adventurer 2i tracker. Taken on a night of lens testing as a "grab" shot. It serves to illustrate Jupiter rising near opposition. Light cloud added the natural glows on the stars and planets. No filter was used here.
