c8 and jupiter

Hi folks been a while since I last posted an image so last night
I got my old celestron c8 sct out and had a go at Jupiter.
Seeing was not that great Jupiter was only at about 30 degrees above horizon but I was still pleased at the little bit of detail that I managed to capture.
1500 frames with zwoasi120mc,c8 telescope,neq6pro mount,2 power barlow.
Any thoughts and advice would be great.

That is a great image- I wish I could get something like that with my LX90 8". What type of Barlow are you using?

Cheers,
Stacy.

Hi bob thanks for the positive comments,i cant wait to get some nice seeing conditions and for Jupiter to be higher in the sky so I can see what
the little C8 can really do!.
I have reprocessed my Jupiter data a little and increased the scale a tad what do you guys think?.
Yes the asi120mc is a fine little camera this is my first image ive captured
with it since I bought it cheers.

Very nicely done, Paul. Excellent detail and not over-done.
