An image of Jupiter (above) showing cloud belts and several
spots including the Great Red Spot.
To the left we have a collection of images showing the Sun and
the planets in our solar system. All taken using the Celestron
9.25 SCT. All images are taken on the same scale and thus
represent their relative size as seen from Earth.
The sequence of images of Saturn shown to the right were
each taken about a year apart and show the plane of the rings
shifting as the angle of the planet relative to earth goes
though a 14 year cycle.
