Jupiter

Planet

About this object

This is one of my favorite planets second only to Saturn.  Skies were not good this night but took this anyway since I am still fine tuning my technique on  focusing and adjusting exposure.  Click here for 2x drizzle image.  Will try again in the near future to get a better shot of this big planet.  My Saturn picture from 2006 DSTS looks much better.
