Jupiter with my ED100

Hi all,

Well it wasn't shot with a huge scope...the jury on my C925 is still out, but I'm convinced that it has some problems. Anyway, I shot this image of Jupiter with my trusty Orion ED100 and a 3x Televue barlow. I enlarged the image 15%. In the lower right of the disk, close to the North Pole region you can see a dark spot. That is the disk (not shadow) of Ganymede. Considering the scope and all, I'm happy with the image.

Hi Paul,

That's certainly one of the better images I've seen with a 4".

Best, Sol Robbins

Paul,

An excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. Your ED100 is an excellent planetary instrument. I look forward to your future images. Your sunspot image was excellent as well.
