My first attempt at CCD imaging Jupiter with my new 150mm reflector :-D. The motion is caused by Earth's rotation. The original is 640x480 so the HD is just extrapolated. The two bands are clearly seen along with only the largest scale details within. The image clarity may have been reduced by dew setting on the primary mirror. The moons of Jupiter were also visible when I increased the exposure, but this meant that Jupiter appeared as a saturated white disc.
