Jupiter as imaged on April 9th, 2003.  Using  a Takahashi FS-102 at f/24 and an STV binned 2x2.

 

There was a double moon-shadow transit on Jupiter this evening, 2003-01-08 -- Ganymede's and Io's.  This image was created from RGB exposures captured with an SBIG STV through a Takahashi FS-102 at f/24. The sky was rather turbulent during this event, though conditions improved later in the evening...

 

This 1/10 second, f/16 image was captured with an SBIG STV through a Takahashi FS-102 on 12/23/2002. On a scale of 1 to 5, the sky quality this night was a generous 2...

Taken on 9/28/00 in Park City, UT, these are a series of three unmodified images, captured at f/16 by a Meade Pictor 416XT CCD camera through a 4" Takahashi refractor and 2x telecompressor.  The exposure time was 15 milliseconds...

 This image is the result of applying Maxim DL's Maximum Entropy Deconvolution to one of the images on the right.

This incredible photo (when you consider how it was taken) was captured in Park City on 11/08/00 through an Obsession 25" Newtonian reflector using crude eyepiece projection.  Jup was brought to focus through a 20mm Televue Nagler, an Olympus D-340R was held where the eye would normally be, and the shutter snapped.  Imagine the possibilities...
