Took this one last Saturday morning at the Heart of American Star Party about 03:20. Meade-8, newly acquired DMK21, about 1000 frames, RegiStax. Europa is transiting, IO and Ganymede near the bottom of the image. I am new at planet imaging, so tips and suggestions welcomed.

Clear skies,
Ed

Very nice! To get more detail on the planet, you'll want to
use a 2x to 3x Barlow lens. Focal ratios around F/25 to F/30
seem to work well.

Ed,

That is a very nice image.. some would say you need more magnification (barlows), but I believe it is great the way it is.. very much like what you would see at the eyepiece. I hate too much image processing.. Looks great.
