First Jupiter

As the title states, this is my first registax picture of Jupiter. Two of its moons are visible as well, which I thought was a nice touch.

Just some info on it, the planet has kind of quirky colours. This is because of the settings on my video camera. It takes movies of Saturn very nicely, but jupiter comes out way too bright. I have to take the darkness down to see any surface detail, which makes it loose colour, and also makes it fuzzy. This works in reverse for stars and star clusters, they are too faint. I gotta work on this a little more.
