Very clear and still skies provided these nice images of Jupiter and its moons.

Taken with a Philips Vesta Pro 690K webcam. I unscrewed the lens and mounted a The Universal WebCam Adapter so that it fits into a 1.25" eyepiece socket. The telescope used was a Meade LX-90 (8" SCT, f/10). Pictures were captured and stacked using K3CCDTools or Registax. Further processing done with Paint Shop Pro 7
