Are you sure you were out of focus? With Jupiter you often get a white blob that is over exposed rather than being out of focus. If this is what you got, it's due to the gain being set too high in your software camera control. The moon does not do this with the same settings as it is large and takes up more of the image frame. Jupiter is small so most of the frame is black and Jupiter will over expose.

That's all assuming this was your problem. Would have been good if you posted an image of what you are getting.


Hope this helps.
