Details:
At 1950UT I took the attached image of Jupiter, which appeared to have acquired a fifth large satellite. In fact it shows. right to left, Europa, Jupiter, Io, Ganymede, a 7.5 Mag star HIP54057, and Callisto. I was trying out a 10 inch reflector on a new Dob mount, when I was astounded to see this. I grabbed my camera, fixed it to my 5 inch refractor at prime focus, and tried about 10 exposures.between 0.4 and 4 seconds. This one was 2 seconds.
