Where? you must be using some form of magnification to see that much detail!! :unsure:

Other than that "small" detail jimmy_mc´s photos are impressive!

Thanks for the comments

FYI - I took these pics with my Sony DSC-P9 digital cam physically lined up through some 8x21 binoculars!! I am intending on getting some 'proper' equipment but I thought I'd try to get the most out of what I have lying around.

They are a bit fuzzy as I was finding it difficult to get the speed right to cater for the brightness of the moon but still show up Jupiter (and also through the city lights and haze). I took a bunch of pics so I will go through them in detail and see if there are any better ones and then post them here.

cheers
J.
