This image was taken at 8:00 this evening, March 18, 2016. The image was derived from an AVI taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera using Sharpcap,  C9.25,  2X barlow. Processed with Autostakkert 2, Registax 6 and Photoshop with Topaz Labs denoise.

Very nice image. Lovely detail.

Some nice detail showing there, I think if you eased back with the brightness between the equatorial belts you might see even more detail.

Thank you for the kind and helpful comments.

Very nice image!

Not sure how long your AVI was? The moon shadows seem a little elongated - this might be improved with WinJUPOS derotation?

Would like to have observed this but overcast here last night!

Thank you for the suggestion, Tommohawk. Learning WinJUPOS is on my to-do list. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the result. At the same time I was filming this, a group of teenagers having a party were lining up to take photos of my computer screen and later to look at the planet for their first time through an eyepiece. I had the great pleasure of introducing them to astronomy and be party entertainment at the same time.
