Jupiter and the 4 galilean moons!

The four moons seen here were first discovered by Galileo Galilei and showed him celestial objects orbiting something other than our own earth.

Also visible is the great red spot, a massive storm system on Jupiter that mankind has seen since the invention of the telescope.

Frames were taken trough the C8 at prime focus, captured with K3CCDTools and stacked about 500 frames with RegiStax.
