First attempt at Jupiter

[Gareth88]

 Go easy on me First attempt at Jupiter using backyard EOS, I know its the size of a pin head but you can see the bands, to me its special , made my day when I saw it after using the planet video mode , Just need to mess with the settings a bit.. no a lot more..

Any tips advice welcomed, taken with a Canon 100d Dslr

It's in focus, its got bands, its clearly Jupiter so well done, a good start !

Congratulations on our first Jupiter some nice detail showing, looks like a hint of a few moons as well. You could do with increasing the image scale to increase the resolution. If you used your QHY5 + a barlow you would get some very good results, although mono only without a filter wheel.

Thank you

I like mono images, and was debating in using the qhy5, il try that next time it is clear.. When that will be is anyone's guess  Had to bring in the telescope the other night as it was all frosty and iced up ( Thankfully the mirror was fine! )

Very nice, much better than my first attempt and I think I can see 3 moons. Great Job!

Yes a good first effort. Well done

As Pete says stick a Barlow in the way.

Got bands! That's always good! Nice work on your first attempts. I agree with the consensus about the barlow; give it shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised 

Here's a video I captured of Jupiter using an Orion electronic imager attached to my 180mm MakCass (the little dot is actually Io making a transit):

Small but perfectly formed as they say. Well done on your first attempt.

Good start. Since your OTA is f/5 and the optimal planetary imaging is done at f/25-30, you should be looking for a good quality 5x barlow (unless you can afford a 5x powermate which is even better).

I like it. Small but beautiful. When i observe it, i use a magnification which basically shows it to be that size in my scope.

Excellent first effort - better than mine by miles. Time for you to explore Barlow lenses as others are saying!
