I was my first attempt at any imaging tonight and i was able to get some detail on Jupiter. Its pretty fun, but not near as rewarding as sketching. Taken with a C8, 2X barlow, and Toucam Pro black and white mode.

Vincent,

An excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. The large white oval over the South Temperate Belt (STB, top) is named BE after the merging of two separate ovals in the recent past (BC and DE). The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) shows much detail as well. The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) is highly detailed as well with festoons noted along it's southern border (NEBs). Thank you for sharing this image with us all.
