I was able to take some pictures of Jupiter 1 day before opposition. There happened to be a transit of Io during my session, and I was going to create an animation, but I never got the focus quite right. I'm thinking the objective is a little off of collimation in the refractor, as the focus varied across the field a little bit. Since my animated frames didnt work out, I'll post the best of the frames here instead.

Jupiter 1 Day Before Opposition
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
10/24 Jupiter
I am trying to photograph as often as I can as Jupiter comes into opposition. I tried the dob, but the optics still arent aligned quite right, there was serious coma on everything so I took these images on the refractor:
Seeing wasnt quite as good as on the 22nd, but I was able to get reasonable detail.
Today (10/25) i received my nosepiece for the webcam, so I'll be using it on the next outing.
