Good steady seeing tonight. This with the Atik Titan, Mak 127 and Powermate x2.5. 1000 frames stacked Registax 6. The moons are Callisto (nearest the planet), Io and Europa. Enlarged 150% in PS.

Hi Brian,

That's well captured with good detail. You've captured the moons realy well with good shape too.
All the best
Dave

Thanks Dave. Here's a cropped version focussing on the planet

Dear Brian,
That is a fantastic amount of detail for a 5 inch scope.
Also lovely colours.
And fine moons also.

I saw Jupiter's moons earlier than your photo and was surprised to glimpse Callisto in 18x50 IS binocular. with the sky not yet dark, i.e. still twilight.

Regards, David

Nice pictures. I looked at Jupiter last night. I don't think I have ever seen the moons configured like that with one directly below. It was a great view.
