Jupiter & Moons

I didn't have any luck getting detail, but I was able to get this image clearly showing Jupiter's moons (left to right)

Callisto, Europa, Io and Ganymede

Also just above Callisto you can see the star "SAO 92999" which is a whopping 1,900 light years away. Kind of make's Jupiter's 36.62 light minute distance seem fairly trivial!!!

A little sad I wasn't able to get any detail from Jupiter (I could clearly see the cloud bands when using my eyes rather than a webcam!)

In case anyone is interested this was taken using a 8" Reflector telescope, Philips SPC880 CCD webcam using wxAstro Capture to record the footage then RegiStax to bring it together into a single image.
