First pics of Jupiter through the 102mm Celestron Refractor

Nothing fancy here...just a quick and dirty first imaging of Jupiter through the 102mm Celestron Refractor....
I had a free 20 minutes and plopped down the scope on the front porch, threw on the Canon and snapped a hand full of non-tracked pics.
Just a coincidence that we were getting a nice shadow transit of Io at the time. Cool.....
This refractor suffers from Chromatic Aberration, really more than I would like...but it was a close-out and relatively cheap...so it'll do. Eliminate the false blue color around the edges and the image is sharp and clear.
Hmmmm.
