However, I do not know how to get surface details of Jupiter with a regular camera and telephoto lens.
Certainly not with any lens that I own. Maybe with a 3 foot long lens that costs as much as a car. A much better idea would be to adapt a telescope to a camera.

I agree. But, there is somebody local that posts Jupiter pics with some banding details and the images are quite small. I know that he has a Nikon Z9 + 500PF. I have to ask him if his Jupiter pics are taken with that equipment, or if he also has a telescope and optionally CCD camera for planetary photography.

I'm pretty sure I took this of Saturn and Jupiter with a 7DmkII and Tamron 150-600mm G2. If I remember correctly this is cropped quite heavily, and is a stack of several exposures. This was the "Great Conjunction in December 2020 of the so called "Christmas Star" I'm not sure why there are shadows of what appears as window panes, but maybe because of the stacking process with Nebulosity.

This is very cool. What were the camera settings that let you capture Jupiter's surface details without a telescope? And when you stacked several exposures, what did you vary on each exposure - the exposure compensation?
