This week has been the first clear sky all summer in Auckland.
Its been hot muggy and sticky
Jupiter was sitting out in all its glory, with attendant moons.
There was still a little haze about but this is my first ever shot of this planet.
The city lights dont help.

GWR thank you
I have seen better, taken with bigger optics, I would love to get photos I have seen with masive telescopes but its way beyond my budget.
Any way I am happy enough for now lol
A friend has a meade 10 in with 2 inch eye pieces and thats whoa factor, but 16 grand worth of gear, no way
