The dark spot near the top is Ganymede transiting Jupiter.
Poor seeing

Jupiter - 18 April 2005 NEW
System I: 127° - System II: 104°
18 Apr 2005, 21:47 UT - C8 at f/28 - ToUCam Pro - 300 frames stacked - wavelet filter
First Jupiter image of the season. Very poor seeing
Jupiter - 07 March 2004
07 Mar 2004, 22:04 UT - C8 at f/28 - ToUCam Pro - 350 frames stacked - wavelet filter
Good seeing
Jupiter - 17 February 2003
17 Feb 2003, 21:47 UT - C8 at f/28 - ToUCam Pro - 450 frames stacked - wavelet filter
The best image of Jupiter this season although the seeing was far from optimal
Jupiter and Ganymede - 13 February 2003
13 Feb 2003, 22:03 UT - C8 at f/15 - ToUCam Pro - 100 frames stacked - wavelet filter
Transit of Ganymede and its shadow on Jupiter. Ganymede is visibile at the center, the much darker shadow is seen near the left limb of Jupiter.
Jupiter - 31 January 2003
Eq. diameter 45.5"
31 Jan 2003, 22:45 UT - C8 at f/15 - ToUCam Pro - 398 frames stacked - wavelet filter
Note the complete disappearance of the Northern Temperate Belt this season.
Jupiter - 8 January 2002
Eq. diameter 46.9"
8 Jan 2002, 21:52UT - C8 at f/10 - Vesta Pro - 32 frames stacked - wavelet filter
Moderate seeing so I made this at f/10. The satellite to the left is Io and the other to the right is Ganymede
Jupiter and Europa - 14 February 2001
14 Feb 2001, 19:49UT - C8 at f/28 - Vesta Pro - 133 frames stacked - wavelet filtering in Iris
Fair seeing (as good as it gets at my location)
Io shadow transit - 25 Jan 2001, 20:44 to 21:49UT
25 Jan 2001, 20:44 to 21:49UT - C8 at f/20 - Vesta Pro - 25-40 frames stacked per image
The seeing was very poor meaning most of the images on the AVI sequences of each 100 frames were unusable. I am actually impressed that Astrostack managed to get so much information out of the raws.
ANIMATION (246 KB) of shadow transit. Composed of 23 images including the four images shown here.

First try at Jupiter with the webcam
Jupiter - 8 and 23 January 2000
G-5 - Camcorder - afocal eyepiece projection - 32 frames and 40 frames stacked
