Tiny I know, consider this a user report of what happens when one uses his family camera for space tourism. Kodak Z730 w/4x optical zoom, afocally shot through 12.5mm Celestron EP and this time I used a 1980's era 8" Meade 2080 SCT.

Jason, nice shot. How many frames did you stack? You should try for Neptune next. Thanks for posting

That looks like a single Raw image take with my Canon 10D. Try to take longer exposure times so you can capture the moons as well.
Nice image and color.
