Just checking back and this is my first Jupiter pic for over 10 months so I'm a bit rusty but quite happy all things considered. I didn't have my electric focuser working nor the filter wheel for RGB so it was a bit of a crude and wobbly set up. Also going by how much the moon was boiling I'd say seeing wasn't great but it's the first showing for the new x2 barlow and that is clearly a step up from the skywatcher one.

I had planned to go back out a bit later when the seeing had settled down a bit but came inside and promptly crashed out leaving everything outside all night, I need to get back in a routine for night time observing I think.

Taken with a 6" scope and ASI120mm.

That's a great result for your first shot this year, especially considering atmospheric conditions were far from ideal. Well done.:)
