This animation was taken over around 4 hours and
shows a transit of the GRS around most of the planet.
The seeing got worse as the planet dipped twords the horizon at dawn.
There are 10 individual frames,
each a finished image from a 2 min AVI captured through
a Philips SPC9000 webcam & ETX-125
Processed (roughly!) in Registax.
I haven't colour corrected it yet,
I may not bother as I reckon it looks grand for what it is.

This is Fergals image of Jupiter taken with a digital camera and a 4.5" refractor. Just four still images were stacked in Registax 3 and it clearly show the main belts.

Jupiter a couple of weeks after opposition at 1:37am, with two moons Ganymede and Io (further out) visible on the full image. The Great 'Red Spot' is also visible. Philips ToUcam Pro, 222mm f5.77 Dobsonian telescope on tracking platform + X2 barlow, 15 second AVI at 10 frames per second, processed in Registax 3

This Jupiter image was taken at 22:21-22:25 and is made from stacking 835 frames. Note the Great Red Spot (GRS) and detail in the belts and the limb darkening, the seeing was good that night. On full image is an enhanced black and white version of the same image. You can see more detail, (that dark area above the GRS is a moon shadow).
Equip = 12”SCT, Philips Toucam pro, registax + photoshop.

This is a picture I took of Jupiter at 00:23. Its made up from 400 stacked frames. Equipment = 12” LX200 + toucam pro + laptop & software = registax2d + astrosnap. I think that this is by far the best pic I’ve got of Jupiter from this setup, and is probably one of the last chances I’m going to get this season to shoot Juipter, hopefully not the last. Note the moon Io on the left had side and the GRS coming from behind the far side (lower left). Europa is just visible at the very edge of the full size image.

Video clip was started at 21:45 at 5 frames per seccond. 1,100 frames were recorded. Equipment used: LX90, no barlow, Philips Toucam Pro webcam. Ganymede is the satellite nearest Jupiter with Io further off to the left.

A sequence of five images showing Ganymede transiting the planet. Although there was broken cloud cover and the full moon was only between 4 and 4.5 degrees away the seeing was very good. The images were taken when cloud allowed. The GRS is also visible rolling into view.

500 frames stacked in Registax 2, Meade ETX 90 + Philips ToUcam pro. Europa is visible to the left while Ganymeade is visible to the right. Note the dark mark on the upper equatorial belt on Jupiter, turns out it was Io with its shadow right next to it (Io left, shadow right). Taken at from Crecora near Limerick

Taken at about midnight, you can just see the GRS on the lower left hand side of the disk. This was taken from 250 stacked frames. Equipment was 12” Lx200 + toucampro + astrosnap + registax2 + photoshop.

Using Paint Shop Pro, combining both the above images gives a view similar to that seen visually at the eyepiece.
