And finally my first Jupiter.

What a night. 10:30 til 4:30. That's about the time Jupiter finally clears the trees now.

While I may be getting the hang of Saturn, I think Jupiters going to be a bit more of a challenge to get all the detail out. Only managed to get one avi in (fuse blew in the 12v powerlead to the meade ) but it turned out ok. Can't wait til it gets higher. If you look closely you may just be able to make out a moon shadow right on the edge of the left (east/west? who knows) limb. I tried a number of different processing techniques. These are probably three of the best.

Again comments, suggestions and advice welcome.
