Well done Armando, I like the inclusion of the Jupiter moons! Did you try any shorter exposures for datails in Jupiter?

Seems too cloudy here today to get any chance for a view, but I might still take a quick trip for a location at the university campus with a free view south just in case. It will only be about 4.5° above horizon here at the time it is dark enough to see it towards dusk. In comparison the sun is only 2-2.5° above horizon at the highest today, in this webcam capture hidden behind the stripe of thick clouds straight south:

Here is my try  with Z50 200-500 f5.6 it was a very clear day today unlike all the previous  :)
Its two days later and the distance between them is longer, it was visible for 30-40 minutes before lost in the orizon
I also made some videos with tele converters but need some time to process
Lucky today ;)

I have not tried again after the 21st
There is little time between the end of light until they hide below the horizon

Well done, Nasos!  It is exciting to know that a rather ordinary photographic setup can deliver such fascinating results in the hands of the knower.
