This is an image shot through my 103mm (4.5 inch)refractor using a Philips PCVC 740K TouCam on 7/10/08. Your image looks like it might have been affected by atmospheric turbulence or maybe heat waves coming off a hot roof. Florida is famous for unstable air and sometimes my images look similar to yours. It is best to capture planetary images when the object is close to the zenith. When you image close to the horizon you will get blue or green edges on Jupiter's limb. Light pollution is probably not your problem. The sky around my house is very light polluted. ****John -------------------- Vixen ED 103S refractor Celestron C8 SCT Takahashi EM 11 Temma II Jr Astro-Tech AT66ED SBIG ST-10E CFW-8 Meade DSI Pro II monochrome CCD Atik filter wheel JMI Robofocus Philips PCVC 740K ToUcam Registax 4.0 Photoshop CS3 MaxIm DL4 The Sky 6 Astro-Lab Roxy Member Brevard Astronomical Society "Starin' at the stars in a distant galaxy; wonderin' if there's someone out there starin' back at me!"
