Jupiter

This is my first image of Jupiter taken with the Minolta. I took this quickly before going to work so quality expectations weren't so high. But still, the two major cloud belts are visible. I think the image is out of focus and there might have been some clouds forming in the sky since Jupiter disappeared as i collected my equipment and went to work. I'd call this a snapshot since it took 15 minutes in total to prepare and take this picture...
