Jupiter Imaging Session - February 21, 2015

As we were doing a public viewing session . Jupiter was a fascinating object to view through the Meade 8" f/10 SCT and I can see the Great Red Spot with the shadow of Io also visible on Jupiter's disk. But unfortunately, I don't have my planetary imaging camera with me as I was doing free public viewing with members of ALP. I just couldn't resist myself and took a single frame sissy Jupiter shot with my Canon EOS 500D DSLR with EFS18-55mm f./3.5-4.5 IS lens set at 55mm and pointed the lens directly toward the Meade 8" f/10 SCT with TV 8-24mm zoom eyepiece (afocal method) handheld ONLY!!! :) LOL Anyway, it's not a great shot but I'm surprised with the results as well :)
