This is first light with a new ZWO camera. This image is best 1500 of 3000 frames, taken through the CFF290CC classical Cassegrain at f/13.5. I have not added a magnifier to the imaging train yet, so this is smaller than the images will be when I complete the kit. Also, I was expecting clouds that night and so made other plans, but when I finished what I was doing at 10:30, the sky was clear, so I rushed around and set up. I had not used the camera outside before, but I was excited to see what I could get. By the time I finished setting up, a light layer of clouds had moved over the planet. That prevented really great detail, but I wanted to try out the setup, so here is one 40-second run of several I took. It's very exciting to capture even such detail as this. Jupiter is a fascinating world. The moon on the right is Europa.
