Jupiter Not Lost In The Wash This Night

Despite mighty planet Jupiter being 411 million miles from Earth on this night, it more than held its own in the light wash from our full moon on the night of Sunday, April 29, 2018. Above, -2.49 magnitude Jupiter (just above trees at bottom) shines gainly in the glow of our satellite--only 241,000 miles distant and -12.69 magnitude. This image looks SE from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at 9:29 pm CDT and is a 1/5-second exposure at f/5.6, 2000 ISO and 55mm focal length. Air temperature for photography was a mild 54 degrees F. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
