Jupiter Shine During its Closest Approach to Earth since 1963 / Nikon Zoom From Iceland

This was my first Astro Photography practice for some time since we got lucky that evening with almost 100% clear skies. Jupiter has however been extremely bright for the last weeks so this was nothing new, as seen from 65°41′00″ N or Akureyri, North Iceland. I was using Nikon D750 with 200/500mm lens and the first demo is just plain video, from there I did a time-lapse for 10 minutes, but it might have been bit overexposed since the Jupiter's moon to the left blends a bit to much with it's big brother. But we can however see well how extremely strong the shine is when compared to the stars around. In a way it's like trying to shoot the stars with the moon in the image or impossible task without image blending. And there is also some colour banding and flicker in the time-lapse , or all the problems that I can possibly get while catching the more complicated scenes.
