Only a quick try in May, should’ve taken many more frames for a proper image. Too focussed on Jupiter at that time. ;-)

One of the better single Jupiter images, taken back in May at Hakos, Namibia. Conditions for planetary imaging were relatively poor, tried over the course of 5 nights. All new single Jupiter images can be found in the Planets album.
