Taken in September 2011, this was my very first attempt at astro-videography: Jupiter and its Galilean moons (from left to right: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto). Video through my small Meade ETX-80 80mm achromatic refractor telescope, using a Celestron NexImage charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and AMCap video capture software.
Reducing the gain, gamma, brightness and other settings on the video camera will reveal the rings of the planets (though you will lose the moons as a result)
This video was processed with Registax astronomical image stacking software to produce a much-clearer still image below.
