ETC90-EC First Light

Image Details:
First images taken through an ETX90-EC.  All images below were taken on February 20, 2003 at around 10 PM EST. There wasn't a cloud in the sky but unfortunately seeing and transparency were only fair. 

I believe the Jupiter images are the only ones needing a description. Very close to Jupiter on the right hand side of the image you can see Ganymede. The dark spot near center is Ganymede's shadow. The GRS should be on the bottom left hand side of the planet (I think?) but it eluded me this time around. I will try to image the GRS later. Next is the Great Orion Nebula then Saturn. A better image of Saturn is on my to do list also.

*All images were stacked with K3CCD Tools.
