Another stat I like...

If you drove a car at 60mph non stop between earth and Saturn, leaving in 503AD, it would just be arriving about now  Smiley

Jupiter and three of the Galilean moons from 24th November.
Best 20% of 2000 frames through my 6" Celestron SCT.
Colour isn't perfect but the detail is pleasing.

Nice one fuzzy, I can see that through my scope  just can't capture it. I get light reflection, so it looks like a big star.
Here's Jupiter and it's 4 main moons...

Thanks Ginginho.
4D, nice one of the moon👍
With Jupiter, for still images, try reducing exposure length. Being a bright target, it needs less time.

Quick question fuzzy, when using your camera do you remove the lenses when attaching to the telescope? Basically use just the camera body?

Yes, I mount the camera after removing the lens.
You need to add an adapter to the camera in place of the lens like https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/skywatcher-dslr-m48-ring-adapter.html
You then screw it onto the eyepiece mount.
Occasionally an extension tube is needed to give sufficient distance of back focus to allow focus to be achieved
