Jupiter's moons 5/4/06

This might look a bit overprocessed, but I did not combine seperately processed images. Overall I am pleased with it as my aim was to try and capture the moons. Europa, just to Jupiter's left, could have been brighter.

Seeing and transparency were about 3/5.
Taken around 2:00 AM MDT 5/4/06.
Altitude was just over 27 degrees.

Interesting shot of Jupiter and moons! Quite a bit of detail on the disk; and the moons are a plus.

Thanks Jim. Contrast is a big problem with my 5" mak. My captures rarely look realistic. The actual view isn't bad, just the captures.
