Pretty cool video. But my webcam doesn't want to pick up the moons :(

Wow, neat colors though.

I wonder - if you zoomed out a bit and focus on a broader area, if then maybe you pick up the moons?
In any event, thanks again, nice!

Hi 2012Portal

it's not a matter of zoom, it's a matter of exposure time.

Jupiter is much more brighter than the moons.
If you set the exposure to Jupiter, the camera can't catch enough light to see the moons.
If you set the exposure to the moons, Jupiter is overexposed and just a big bright dot with no details.

You can try to stack both kinds of photos, but the result isn't optimal.
To show the Jupiter system, most photographers just photoshop a good Jupiter image into the moon image.

It's still possible. It's not a wonderful picture but we can see some moon. I don't have access to other pictures here, it was my very first Jupiter picture (with newton 200/1200, webcam toucam pro2)
