A couple of shots through my telescope (Click photo for larger image).

Here's a couple I took Sept. 2010. I'm not really happy with them. They are both Jupiter. The first one is a quick shutter speed, and it captures some of the color of the planet, but it doesn't have enough light to give it the clarity I can see using an eyepiece. And the moons aren't visible.

This second shot was about a 1.6 second shot, and it captures the 4 brightest moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo Galilei in January 1610. (Click photo for larger image).
