Details:
At 05:51 in pre-dawn light above Kent, England the moon was approaching Jupiter. Yesterday the moon and planet Mars were in close conjunction. This morning I took this wide field photo to show Mars above and to the right of the moon and Jupiter close by in the lower left. Through the telescope I had to photograph separately the Moon and Jupiter with its 4 moons. Then I made a composite photo of the two images and oriented them correctly.
