In the words of Barney Gumble of The Simpsons, after graduating from space-flight school and drinking a slurp of non-alcoholic Champaigne: "It begins!"

Here is a shot of Jupiter taken with Fuji A350 digital camera held up to eyepiece. The camera would overexpose the image, even after I manually turned exposure down to minimum. So I had to turn on the flash to get a faster shutter speed!

Yes this is Jupiter photographed with a flash!

Taken through 10mm Pentax XW eyepiece in 8" Dob, with 5MP camera with optical and digital zoom full on hand held. Bit of processing in the Gimp.
