There were some thin clouds in the early-evening western sky, but they didn't prevent getting a shot of the 5.7-d moon. The telescope used was the Sightron Japan infini D50, a 50-mm aperture, 540-mm focal length achromat. This scope seems to perform quite well. There is only a hint of chromatic aberration along the limb of the moon in the digital image. Visually, a Nagler T6 5-mm eyepiece was used to provide a 108x view of Jupiter. The cloud bands were very well defined.
