since last posting i have made half-a-dozen more attempts to get shots of Jupiter & her moons, all to no avail. no matter if it looks ok on the camera, when i transfer it to the computer it's a virtually blank image.
who ya gonna call?
but, i'm dropping in because i think it is delightfull that another amateur photographing Jupiter was the first to record and identify a new impact on the planet.
Impact mark on Jupiter, 19th July 2009

Five days later Wesley photographed the impact cloud again and found that it had approximately tripled in size.
