Jupiter with Orion ST80

Jupiter image is stacked from 30 frames and moons from 10 frames. Stacked and resized (1.5X) with Registax. Images then combined with Photoshop.

Tried Jupiter imaging with my new PowerMate and my small refractor. Quite pleased with result despite the fact that ST80 is not ideally suited for planetary imaging with its short focal length (500mm).

Moos from left to right: Europa, Callisto, Ganymede and right to Jupiter is Io.
