1st image of Jupiter

[Cosmic (Daniel)]

Hi guys and girls,

Yesterday just so happen to walk out side look up and then run back inside drop whatever I was doing and setup. After weeks of waiting I was keen to get out there and give it a shot. The image was taken with a Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 -cmos- with f/5 8inch newton on a NEQ6 Pro. Regi stacked up with around 30 frames with a vid of around 20 secs.(done the research now should of been 3-4mins and I should of used a Barlow...if I had one)

Please feel free to criticize and let me know what you think. By the way its hard for me to tell the atmospheric conditions, been new to this and all. With all the cloud near by im guessing it wouldn't have been to good.

Cheers,
Dan
