Jupiter with 11" SCT from May 16 2018

This is one of the videos that I thought was going to be awful because I couldn't see details well enough to decide if I was in focus.
It appears that I was darn close. Movement of the image on my screen was horrible.
I ran this through Autostakkert2 stacking 10% of 8900 frames and tweaked wavelets in Registax.
Opened that TIFF in Photoshop to adjust white balance and saved it as PNG.
This is the uncropped image.
Here tis, I am pleased.

It looks great, even uncropped the planet looks hugeio.
There should be some eclipses of the moons coming up.
I thought I saw Europa coming around in my Stellarium, but don't recall if it was last night or tonight.
We had the 3 Grand-kids overnight last night for a sleep-over. So that was a bust for me.
(They and Grandma scatter about the living room, and I can't traipse around because it might keep the kids awake.)

Thanks Sonny.
Europa is supposed to transit tonight but I work in the morning and we have a high wind warning posted for tonight.
Not looking good for me.

I'm glad to see that the 11" works out so well. A great shot Jim.

Thanks Craig,
It was a case of not seeing the same detail I saw the evening before but it was the same poor view with the 8"
I had no way of knowing without switching out. By then to late to go back.
I will just have to bite the bullet and do a full session, hell or high water.
