On 6th July around 12:30, I took a photo of the moon, on a long exposure
and
a narrow aperture. My location at the time was about 27 N and 15 W
(Canary
Islands). When I looked at the photo I saw an interesting object above
the
moon and slightly to the right. Can someone with astronomy planetarium
software check what it is?
Jupiter ? What did it look like ? How far above and to the right ?

About three times the distance above as it was to the right. It was brighter
than any other object, apart from the moon. Certainly looks like Jupiter,
just didn't think I could pick out that much detail with only a Canon A80.
Oh, and I meant wide aperture in my first post.

Yep, that would be Jupiter. I used Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ to
check that out, if you're interested.
