Nice and sharp and loads of detail.
Jupiter also looks good with Io nearby.

Well done
Thanks Geoff, I hope I can grab a few more shots before it turns full. (cloudy in Perth ATM so maybe too late

Thanks Mike, I have used a neximager but found the 40D to be much better.
The bug had bitten me since Christmas just gone when I looked through my first telescope

Thanks Trevor, I was lucky to catch the impact just before it disappeared

I have a few more AVI's I havent processed yet, may put them up if they turn out OK.

Just a quick Question, I am thinking of getting a 10" dob to mount on the EQ6, would this give me an advantage over the 8"sct for imaging??? If so, how??

Thanks again all for the comments.
