[Leica] Moon & Jupiter with 135mm Apo-Telyt-M

[Paul Roark]

I re-took Jupiter, its planets and the stars tonight at 400 iso, 1/30 sec.,
and a tripod.  This reduces the noise (which was what most of the "stars"
were yesterday) and clearly resolves the Jupiter moons, putting them in
correct perspective & relative brightness to the real stars that are
there.  See
