Imaged Jupiter with 14" LX200, 2x barlow and small extention tube. The image of Jupiter was almost too big to fit on the CCD, thankfully the tracking was okay to not clip any of Jupiter off. Hope you enjoy the image.

Ron, the good images of today will be only average in a few years time the way technology is progressing. I am sure if you are still doing this in a few years, you may be taking better images than this. All the best.
