Astrophotos October 2011

I can't believe there is a 6 month gap between buying the webcam and actually taking photos with it but anyway here goes.
 
These are the first shots taken with the webcam. When I first saw them on the laptop I was completely stunned at how close and large Jupiter appeared. I'm not using any eye pieces or filters. To see these images through the ETX with your eye I'd need to use an eye piece more powerful than I actually have.

Jupiter and which looks like the Great Red Spot

Jupiter again but a few minutes later. Notice that the Great Red Spot has moved around due to the planets rotation.

Later in the month I took these shots of the moon. Looking a bit too green.
