Jovian Rise at Devasthal
Description
From the photographer: “Jupiter easily outshines the nearby bright winter stars Aldebaran & Capella. Old and exotic sky-scrapers (pine, oak and cedars) line up the calm meadow at the campus of DOT, Devasthal Optical Telescope, Uttarakhand Himalayas in India. Just a kilometer above this meadow, on the peak, construction is underway for a 4-meter Liquid Mirror Telescope, as well as a 3.6-meter optical telescope.”

Sir, could you share the camera and lens specifications that you used for this photograph(if a telescope was used, could you brief about it too)? Also it would be kind of you to tell the image exifs (ISO setting, exposure time, aperture, exposure compensation)
