Jupiter remains an awesome target for small telescopes all of April (and most of the early summer). Hopefully we'll have clear skies for the evenings of the NCRAL. I will bring my 8"SCT and Orion 5MP camera and flat panel to show Jupiter and later Saturn.
The images below were from that setup. The rapid Jupiter rotation is evident as the Red Spot comes into view over 20 minutes in the top three images. Note also a moon shadow (? which moon uncertain). The image below was exposed to show Jupiter's moons, one of which appears on the left. The disc of Jupiter was overexposed so I cut and pasted Jupiter's disc (a bit less noisy due to image stacking) at 11:00 pm from the video taken about the same time.
