1st try at this, 7d 600 f/4 w/ 2x tc heavy crop

just couldn't get focus with my shaky tripod. 2 exposures, couldn't figure how to stack with cs 3 so i just layered and erased the over exposed image. still, i'm amazed for it being around 368 million miles away!! :-)

Considering the brightness of Jupiter and the image scale using a DSLR,especially a full frame, the focus looks fine. It's just that the planet gets overexposed when you try to expose the moons also.

There are plug-ins for Photoshop to stack images. But to do it, you do like you did, just open each image into a layer on your reference frame. You can use Overlay Blending for each layer, Then adjust the opacity of each to achieve the results you want.

Or you can use Registax (external link) for stacking planetary and lunar images.
