you have to jump at the opportunity... a very clear night, just setting up the 12 inch for deep sky, and checking Jupiter for a sky reading...
there was io and a shadow... the 300D is not really set up for planetary, no mirror lock and so on, but with patience you can do ok...
a stack of 5 exposures at f25 (2.5X Powermate), and asa 800 to get the shutter speed up to 1/10th or so...
lynkeos to stack, photoshop to process. Not up to the webcam stuff, but ok..
