Jupiter. The first and last capture of Jupiter that I took over an hour (0900 - 1000 UTC) while the shadows of Io and Europa passed over the lower band. The animation is a collection of all frames (taken every 5 minutes). Focus is pretty poor, but the animation definitely shows the shadows.

Taken with an old Connectix Color QuickCam (unmodified), mounted to a 8.8mm Meade Ultra Wide eyepiece. The telescope used was a Meade LX-90 (8" SCT, f/10). Pictures were created by stacking using AstroStack Original AVIs grabbed using the Connectix QuickMovie app.
