On February 15th 2004 at about 12:50AM, I imaged Jupiter with my webcam; a Philips ToUcam Pro. I shot several loops of .avi video each about 700MB-1GB in length. After capturing this data with K3CCD Tools, I ran it through Registax 2 to grade, re-order and stack the best  frames in each video file. Final processing was performed in Photoshop.

The webcam was set-up to shoot through a 2x Televue Barlow on my 14.5" StarMaster Newtonian reflector riding atop my Johnsonian Type V equatorial platform.
