Thanks Steve, these are obviously far from the best, but I'm still marveling (having returned to Astronomy last year aster a 10 year hiatus) at how such shots are even possible from ground based amateur scopes. I remember Pioneer and Voyager vividly but never thought anything like the same cloud detail might be achieved with a lousy SCT (which back then, to me, seemed to be good at nothing).

cheers,
