Awesome!

I captured the moon a bit and even the moons of Jupiter, see in HD here [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] but this was with a Nikon D7000 with a mere 50/500 lens. Nothing like your telescope.

Hi 2012Portal

there is only few you can do to get a bigger image.
You can put a 2x teleconverter between camera and objectiv (not the ones you screw to the front of the objectiv) - this would double the focal length and the object size.

If you want more, you need a tracking telescope.

You also can try to increase the quality of your images/videos:
Set the focus to manual - the autofocus dont work properly with small celestial bodies.
Play around with the exposure time (the ISO settings for videos) - should be possible to catch the bands of Jupiter.

---------------------------------------------------

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)
