The goals for the two nights were to image Galilean satellite and satellite shadow transits. In the past I would magnify planets with a 2x Barlow but have decide to eschew Barlow in favor of prime focus with shorter exposures and higher frame rate. The planetary critical planetary sampling formula yields a focal length of 2349 mm a bit longer than my Celestron 8's 2030 mm. Considering typical mid Atlantic seeing prime focus is good enough. What follow are images of Jupiter acquired over 90 minutes and 2 hours on the two dates. Unfortunately, on the 8th Jupiter was just beginning to slide behind a nearby tree as the shadow transits took place.
