   Tried taking my first pictures of Jupiter tonight with a #Fujifilm X-T5 and the XF150-600mm lens. The pictures aren't that impressive but I'm honestly shocked I was able to see any detail at all, and blown away I could see what appears to be three moons of Jupiter.

     @IMcPwn try shooting video of it, you can then look through frames individually and find a sharp one; at 600mm you should see some details like a stripe or two on Jupiter. Try ISO 400 and 30fps, more fps if possible.

     @IMcPwn for video, just use whatever gives you 30fps or more and a histogram that’s not over-exposing. Also obviously you want all on a nicely stable tripod. Good luck!

     @thomasfuchs Thank you so much! I will give it a try the next time I am out. I was reading online I should use ISO 3200 so I was mostly trying that and 125.

     @IMcPwn focus on something near horizon if you can first, anything reasonably far away is fine

     @thomasfuchs Any tips for focusing other than bringing a laptop so it’s easier to see (versus tiny camera LCD)? For video I suppose I could slowly cycle the focus and find a sharp image in post.
