I wanted to get a shot of the red spot last night, it looks like I caught a bonus. There seems to be a shodow of a moon on the surface as well.

I wish I had known about the 2 minute limit on capture time last night, the shadow would have come out a little better.

Ah, okay. I've always had a rough time with my DSI on the planets (on anything for that matter) so extra props from me.

(is posting this while recording a shadow transit himself on his Nexstar 130, or at least hopes he is) *laughs*
