Decided to frustrate myself again with another attempt at Jupiter...
With a William Optics Megrez 90, various Barlows with a QHY 462C camera on an iOptron CEM26 mount.
The 1st image is simply Jupiter and four of its Moons using a 2x Barlow.
The last two images were captured using a 5x Barlow pushing the Megrez 90 to ~3000mm focal length. The only difference between the two images is the number of video frames used to create the final image.
Enjoy!

Nice stuff! I've used my Sigma 150 - 600 mm lens to shoot Jupiter with decent results. I believe Jupiter is at it's closest in 60 or so years. Perfect opportunity to play with the skies....
Wonderful performance for the optical system that you had available. High congrats. And appreciation. Thanks for sharing with us.
Looks pretty good , Jupiter has a lot going on with the GRS diminishing . I miss being able to shoot the planets. Good job bwa.
