Hi All,

Thanks very much for the feedback. I have also attached below one of the still images from the same night which shows Jupiter, Io, Europa and Ganymede.

Hi Marcus - The Canon EOS has a "movie crop" mode which only uses the central 640 x 480 pixels of the sensor. From what I have read, this results in a 7x magnification when compared with the standard movie mode. This works very well for planetary and lunar images.

Cheers,
Mark
