Last nights effort: LX90 8" UHTC, QHY5 on Skywatcher 2x Barlow with T thread, SCT to 1.25" adaptor. 320/500 @25ms @47% gain. Registax using Classic quality at 80%.
I have loads more frames but little time!

Great image Dunc, would have looked nice in colour, but some nice detail.

Nice one Duncan.
As Mark pointed out earlier, you can get the moon data from here -

Depending on your FOV, you might have 4 moons  :o

I know. There are four moons but I wanted to crop the width to a reasonable size. Also I need to set each moon as an alignment point in Registax so the beome better defined.

I'm going to get one or two of those SPC880s form Morgans so I can do colour planets again

Duncan, only saw this at the meeting. A very nice Jupiter!
