Thats as its seen , well done !
Did you draw this at the eyepiece? or from memory afterwards? either way it shows the 3D of jupiter and his moons well.

On the drawing dont try to draw a circle .
Jupiter is 120 000 km across and rotates in 10 hours , so he is an eclipse , eg ,egg shaped
shorter on his hight and wider on his gerth.

Thats probably why you had trouble getting the drawing just right ? He's not a circle .
Thats Jupiter .
Brian.
