Hi all. I tried Jupiter again last night, this time at f/40. The image is not great, but shows a number of interesting features within the red belt. I was pleased to catch a shadow too. This was taken with my Celestron Ultima 2000 8" SCT with a TeleVue 4X Powermate.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

Nice image of the Ganymede shadow event. Your image I can almost see the shadow curving on the planet.
