I wish I had, but was a bit in a rush and didnt even have time to properly let the scope cool down.

Here's a link to a pic a couple other people did.

The first one is how I saw it with the two Jovian moons opposite each other..

This one must have been a different day, I dont see Jovian moons, but click on the Original and Jupiter is big enough to see a couple bands on it.

The event was quite breathtaking to see.. the 8∗ weather outside was even more so!

Here's a music vid for Martin.. Pink Floyd Echoes synced to 2001: Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite. (like wizard of Oz synched to DSoM)
