Perhaps have you seen a very bright "star" in the evening, between east and south. This star is in fact the planet Jupiter. Last night I went to the center of Brittany (north-west of France), in a region called "Monts d'Arrée" where there is no light pollution. After having seen some galaxies and nebula with my telescope, I decided to take a photo of Jupiter with my ToUcam:

I work 12 am to 8 am. Jupiter has been a good companion when it has not been too cloudy. Good shots!
I took a bigger image:

Cool images. Thanks for letting us in on this.
And last but not the least, here is the image I took last night; a double transit on Jupiter, with Ganymède and Europa:

That's interesting. The moons share our orbit plane.
Those are amazing, thanks for posting.
It's the Ebon Monolith!
oh, no wait,....
:)
Again last night, there was no wind nor turbulences in the air, so I could take a good image:
