Jupiter (and Europa) through a 7" newtonian telescope

Jupiter through my 7" newtonian telescope and Toucam. The planet was 30° above the horizon, seeing wasn't bad but far from excellent. This telescope diameter class allows to obtain good signal to noise ratio, provided transparency is good enough (not really in this case).

HI. I have a newtonian telescope and when i want to look at jupiter i cant focus on it.

Why?

[balzerbarn]

@MegaFancyboy Can't you sharpen Jupiter's edge? I assume you can focus Jupiter's Moons at least, starting from the lowest magnification eyepiece. Moreover, I would try on our closer crescent Moon first in order to reach a reasonable focusing: that won't leave any doubt to you.

[balzerbarn]

@SoSolidXgutxonRS 76mm is about 3 inches only.

at 0:23 there is a flash for half a second above eropa . It looks like its from a flash from a possible explosion deep in space.
