I used an Orion XT-10 Telescope with a Pentax XW 5mm Eyepiece and a TeleVue 2x 1.25" Barlow for 480x Magnification and a simple HP Photosmart Digital Camera. It's not much but it's a start :)

You might want to back off on the magnification for Jupiter. 480x even in a 10" is too much mag to see detail. 200x or just above that would be ideal.
Clear skies to you.

I know there is a difference in quality between what you see through the scope, and what you take a picture of through it. I was curious, how good is the quality when you actually look through the XT-10? I'm thinking about getting the XT-10, and wanted to get someone who's owned its' opinion of it. Is Jupiter detailed, can you see the Red spot? And if you don't mind, how would you rate the quality of what you see with the scope on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best?
Thanks!

Hi there,
The quality is Definately better when viewed through the scope directly. I have a better camera on it's way, so I'll be able to take much better pictures, especially with the summer humidity gone. You can see the red spot, especially if you go to a dark site, I live on the border of a white zone and am lucky to have a forest towards the SW side which helps a lot.
So for a white-red zone I would rate it an 8/10, I'm sure it would be way greated at a grey zone. Google bortle scale

Sorry not many pictures taken, the reason is it's extremely hard the way I was doing it and Jupiter was sinking down the Horizon at the time, on top of that.

It's also 370 million miles away :)
