Features Great Red Spot and the shadow of Jupiter's moon Io.

@MrGoat Thank you! Hoping to do much better in the future when the skies clear. That was taken with camera intended for deep space. Have since acquired a planetary camera.

@mike54 Awesome. What equipment did you use for this? (asking because I am starting to get back into the hobby, and evaluating what I'll be needing)

@codeWhisperer Thanks. Oddly enough, I used an astro camera intended for deep space, ZWO ASI1600mm Pro, with an electronic filter wheel (LRGB filters for this particular capture), attached to a Celestron 9.25" SCT mounted on a Tak EM200. Didn't have a planetary camera at the time, but have since acquired one - ZWO ASI174mm. Tried it last weekend but the seeing was well below average & I had trouble focusing. Processing was an abject failure so I deleted the image files as a lost cause. 🤷‍♂️
