Had the dob out and did some visual work with the moon. I am also building an equatorial platform which I hope will aid in photography. Anyway, when Jupiter was high enough to clear the trees, I photographed, and I was able to find it a couple of times with the 2X barlow. The only problem is, I shot using 10 fps, which causes some onion skin effect. I probably could have used a faster shutter speed, but as fast as it was moving, and the difficulty I was having keeping it in the field, I felt I was lucky to get the images I was able to get. It seems to have been halfway decent anyway. These are the full size images.
This was a short imaging session, around 0400Z. You can plainly see the onion skin effect. I'm not sure how much motion blur there is, and I dont recall the shutter speed either.
The 2 moons that you see are Ganymede on the left and Io on the right. The GRS is almost about to rise.
