Jupiter, by Jove

One of the neat things I got for Christmas was a frame that holds an iPod in line with a telescope eyepiece to take pictures.  Here is my maiden effort, Jupiter and the four Galilean satellites . . . . (for the technical-minded, this was a 9.25" f/10 Celestron Cassegrain-Maksutove with a  Brandon 16-mm eyepiece and a 2X achromatic Barlow inline.)  It's just a snapshot; I haven't figured out how to control the exposure yet.  Nor how to "stack" photos to increase detail.
