Hi Eric,

I cheated and used my SBig ST10XME and a 0.75 focal reducer to get this shot. It was taken through the red filter as the clear bloomed Jupiter at minimum exposure.

Most people would be talking about imaging Jupiter with a webcam at 30 odd FPS and a 1/30th second exposure. This was using a more sensitive CCD and 0.1 second exposure. Still the dynamic range of the CCD is impressive, the shot is a composite of the same image, one stretched to show the moons and stars, the other at minimum stretch to show the planetary details, layered in Photoshop.

Cheers
Stuart
