This image was taken using my Meade Etx105PE scope fitted with a modified Microsoft lifecam.
Using Registax I combined 2000 images to reveal much more detail than you could see with the naked eye.
Four of Jupiter's 50 moons can be seen in the image as they orbit this giant planet some 400 million miles away.
From left to right they are, Europa,Callisto,Ganymede and Io.
The moons are very different and make intersting reading.
Hopefully Juno, sent to Jupiter on a oneway trip will uncover more of its secrets.
