Jupiter Nearing Opposition

The planet Jupiter is favourably placed for viewing and imaging in the early hours of the morning, from my location. Opposition occurs during September, so the best opportunities have still to come. This image was taken through my 8" Newtonian with the web cam attached to a 4X barlow plus extension tubes, and is a stack of 2000 frames, processed in Registax. Seeing was not ideal.
