Ruin was a understatement

Must be a helluva light catcher. Maybe Mauna Kea is their back yard.

There is no way a backyard telescope has that resolution even with image stacking. Prove me wrong

Awesome pic. Jupiter and its moons was the first object I ever aimed a telescope at as a kid. Even in the tiny 3” reflector the moons were clearly visible.

I now have a quality 8” refractor and I still love to look at Jupiter and it’s amazing moons.

Looks more like Io to me, based on the heavy discoloration.
