First Jupiter image and Io transit

Started experimenting with imaging for the first time, using my 8SE and Neximage.

The first image is my first ever image of Jupiter. As luck would have it it was taken with the GRS in view. After processing the details just blew me away.

The second image is a composite of multiple captures of the Io transit and the last one shows a barlowed view with Io's shadow visible on Jupiter's disk.

Seeing was average at best, but I'm still extremely pleased with the results.

Good work.

They'd be even better if you lifted the brightness a little.

A good start, though
