Clear Skies

Well...it's been awhile since I've posted astronomy pictures. The sky was so clear tonight after all the rain last night and this morning. You could see Jupiter and several of her moons so clearly. After I viewed the moon and Jupiter several times in different eyepieces, I pulled out the D40, then finally the NexImage (web cam for astronomy). The D40 got a few good pictures, but I haven't bought the T-ring that attaches the camera to the telescope, so it's afocal for now. After I put the D40 away, clouds came out of nowhere and all the NexImage got was really cloudly and blurry video. Here's my favorite from the D40:
