This image of Jupiter was taken at UNM Campus Observatory in my 13" Scope with the camera held (by adapter) at the eyepiece. It is slightly out of focus but you can easily see the banding on the planet but none of the moons showed up. This was the first time I have tried to take a picture of anything other than the Moon this way so I think it was a pretty cool picture.
Here is a photo taken a few moments later with Jupiter and 4 of its moons. The motion of the (earth) is evident when you zoom into the photo and you notice that none of the objects are circles they are all elongated because of the motion through the eyepiece.Both images - Nikon CoolPix S210, f5.9, 1/2 sec, ISO-400
