Excellent first image of Jupiter. Some detail there, you've caught Europa and I can even make out its shadow.

Like Lester said, the Moon seems elongated - how long was your capture time? The smearing could be a stacking artifact too. How many frames did you capture and stack?

I hope you don't mind, but I've had a quick play to adjust the 3rd image.

- Realigned RGB channels
- Adjusted levels to set the black point and neutralise the backgroud
- Curves (to give some contrast)
- Saturation (to give it a bit more colour)

Great job!
