Moonless Jupiter, but not earth!

Dancing Moon and Jupiter, trying to take pictures of the Moon and Jupiter in the night sky without a tripod is very difficult to do, this is the result of that effort.

Another post of the Moon taken using my Star Blaster Telescope 4.5" with the camera hand held up to the eyepiece. Both of these were taken on Wednesday evening when Jupiter lost its moons for a few hours (they were either in front of or behind the planet so you could not see them) it was a very impressive site and will not happen again for like 10 years or something, I had used the Moon as a finder when looking for Jupiter in my telescope. I did not take the time to attach the finder scope so I used the Bright Moon as a starting point to try and find Jupiter and it worked but I was a little distracted with how beautiful the moon was so I spent about 5 or 10 minutes looking at Jupiter and then spent the next 30 or 40 minutes looking at the Moon.

I really enjoy looking at the moon, and will start to learn some of the features of the moon by name.
