Jupiter among the stars - a photo on Flickriver

            

DESCRIPTION:
For several years I took planetary photography and I presented my photos, like everyone else, with an aseptic black background. Lately, stimulated also by my work ( I am professor in a high school ) I reflected on the fact that, if we want amateur photography to be effective in bringing young people to astronomy, it must be presented in a suggestive way, it must be emotional.
This photo was designed with this purpose and is the overlapping of two images ( one planetary and one of deep sky ) which were taken in two different days and places. 
The planetary photo captures Jupiter during a double eclipse. One of the satellites involved , Ganymede, is visible to the right of the planet. 
The deep sky photo shows the Milky way, in particular the regions of Cygnus and Cepheus.
