Three shots of Jupiter with the shadow of IO and a fuzzy Great Red Spot. The fourth is an animation showing the slight movement between shots.

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.
