Attached is a 200mm DSLR snap of a Moon Jupiter Lunar to take advantage of and mark the calm before the hurricane here in Vero Beach. Minutes of arc per pixel is .0982' / px for the 200mm Super Takumar lens used. Settings f8, 1/400s, ISO 400, infinite focus, hand held. The pixel count is 2011px to the near limb for an observed distance of 3° 17.5'. The only people geeking out more than me this morning are the weather channel meteorologists camped out on the beach here.
