The seeing is so good tonight, Jupiter was extraordinarily good. I snapped this with a canon sx100 powershot digital camera. Just put it in the eye piece and click. I played around with the shutter speed and these ones are about 1/500. No touching up or anything special - just ala natural. I can't do anything with these so it was more a bit of fun.

Nice work Rod - it always surprises me how the bands of Jupiter can be easily captured!
