Default Easter flyby - Jupiter near the moon

The early hours of Easter saw a pretty *almost*-occultation here in Sydney:

3 exposures: one each for the Moon, Jupiter and the four Galileans, combined
in Photoshop for this montage.

Camera: Pentax *1stDS (stupid name - *great* camera)
Optics: Sigma 600mm mirror f/8
Exposures from 1/4 to 1/1000 sec, ISO nominally 200

Damn!
It looks great when these two dance in the sky together.

(Happy Easter, y'all!)
