Jupiter Imaging Session - October 14, 2011

The sky tonight was partly cloudy and at around 9:00pm, I saw Jupiter cleared the building obstruction and can't resist myself to image it. As I setup my scope, clouds started to cover the sky again to my frustration! But since I still got around 20 minutes before my roof will obstruct my view again so I patiently waited and after 15 minutes, clouds started to break up again and I use the small window time left to image the Jovian planet. As I observe the planet, I was also able to see Europa casting a shadow. Seeing condition though is not that good at 1/5.
