Okay, a little bit of cheating here. It was hard to get a sharp, somewhat detailed moon while also being able to get the apparent brightness of Jupiter in the same shot. So, I took two shots (one with the Moon nice and sharp but not too bright, and the other with the moon overly bright but Jupiter at about the same apparent magnitude as the naked eye view). I merged them using layering in GIMP, and was able to reproduce almost exactly as they both appeared in the sky tonight. :-)

Thanks, Roopesh!
This was taken using a Nikon D40 camera, with it's 55-200mm zoom set to around 85mm or so.
