Look at the above photo on your phone
and expand it. You can see the smaller one - Saturn looks flat because you're seeing it's rings. Look closely at Jupiter and can three moons. Pretty spectacular.

I'd like to see a photo from a telescope powerful enough to show, in one frame, Jupiter and Saturn with more detail like Jupiter's stripes and Saturn's rings. I don't know if you can zoom in that close and get that kind of detail in one frame.
