Jupiter and moons 25-3-17; ZWOASI290MC; ED120

[Owmuchonomy]

Last night was very clear.  I had set up the mount in Alt-Az mode with the ED80 and ED120. A few folks came round for a viewing session, the biggest wow coming from the spectacular view of Algieba through the 120.  Anyway, when they had all gone I had a look at Jupiter and despite being around 20 degrees in altitude and poor seeing I put the ASI290 on to it at native f/7.5.  I can get Jupiter and its moons on the 'widescreen' chip of this camera at that f/l.  Here is the result of two stacks, one for the planet and another for the moons.  Stacked in AS!2.

Thanks very much. I see I have put the processing date in not the capture date. Should read 25th March!

Nicely done... I wonder if it's possible to get a long exposure shot  to show up some background stars too... the you could have jupiter and the moons against a starry background!
