Venus and Jupiter

Hi all,
I was out observing Venus tonight and dusted off the camera and got a shot of it using the 12" Meade.
this is 2 thousand frames stacked

later on the seeing deteriorated and the clouds came in while trying to image Jupiter, I recorded about 8 videos of the planet but was thwarted by passing clouds, this video was the only one that wasn't interrupted, the shadow is of Callisto, and the GRS was only just coming into view, hopefully next time the seeing will be better..
I might give another go at reprocessing it if I get the time.
400 frames stacked.
