First Jupiter posted

Here's my first ever Jupiter from 2 nights ago. Poor seeing, small image scale(still waiting for 5x powermate)and lots of fiddling with the unfamiliar EQ platform that I received last week. Not tooooo bad for first attempt I suppose?

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. Screws on the EQ platform drive wheel were loose hence the fiddling. Now tightened and focuser's tension adjusted, all geared up for tonight's GRS but guess what? Clouds
