My first ever photo of Jupiter and its 4 galilean moons

It’s not lens flare I promise

You would benefit from a ND filter, a variable ND filter would be even better, and they help to lower the surface brightness of things like planets and the moon. If you have a 1.25 inch eyepiece, then I found a cheap one that connects to the bottom of your eyepiece. https://astromaniaoptics.com/products/astromania-telescope-filter-125-inch-variable-grey-polarizing-filter?VariantsId=10704&srsltid=AfmBOorZOZvlT0_5ZZ5WuTpfSIipZXnLL5VnHR8XhkjsWm6LUDriR_1AQRw

doesnt need an nd filter, just needs to reduce exposure

You sure? Because ive had the exact same issue, and the nd filter greatly helped, but thats when I would take a single image, not exposures, but I also am not sure what @brittle timber's imaging technique was

[waxen sluice]

Unless their camera is very bad and can't shoot shorter exposures, yes I'm sure

[brittle timber]

ill look into it

imaging technique was tripod, zoom in and take photo

camera is a bridge camera that i’ve had for a long time

Nikon P1000

yes i know its not ideal for astrophotography but it’s what I have

[brittle timber]

yes I can definitely get a better photo tonight I’ll see with the weather

Ok mate , I didn't know they were using an actual camera, I thought just from the image that they used a phone up to an eyepiece.

I did too
