They probably use a different imager for brighter objects, or a different optical configuration, or both.

I suspect Jupiter would be a great target, if we shoot nice quick images. We probably could put together a video of its rotation. Sounds good to me, Dave!
Initially I did not think the 2 meter was supposed to be used on things as bright as Jupiter. However I just found this in their archives: http://lcogt.net/observations/ogg/2m0a/12201
So it has been done.
