Imaging Jupiter and Moons

having never imaged jupiter through a telescope before and seeing Damian Peach's images of Jupiter and some of the Galilean moons in transit/shadow transits, are the moons' brightness such that you can image jupiter and the moons will be correctly exposed? Or does a composite have to be done?

Some of Damian's pictures would be very difficult to make a composite of (especially the transits), so just wondering!

I intend to image at either 200x f/40 or 400x f/80, will experiment a little.

TIA

Maybe just using masks would do it. Depending on the imaging software you use find a Yahoo tech group that supports the software and pose the question.
I have ImagesPlus which has a discussion group - the method is discussed about how to produce pics of comet+tail+pinpoint stars - the results are good as in -https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurie_astronomy/16318484681/

The best exposure for the disc of Jupiter is underexposed, which eliminates moons...

Damian Peach also uses derotation software so he can stack 30mins of signal.
I do say 3mins. After that(?) rotation spoils things.

Can anyone point us in the direction of that software?

Planetary imaging can be done in one run. You don't need to do two lots if runs. Winjupos is the programme you need to do derotation but first you need to stack the frames with a stacking programme. AS!2 or Registax are the programmes of choice.
