guys think about it, if only saturn wasn't a gas giant, it would be a beautiful place to visit, to have so many moons and the glorious rings in the night sky, that would be amazing, its a darn shame.
Almost doesnt look real...just because it's almost unbelievable that these things are right out there, in our line of sight, and we simply can't see them unless we have a good telescope. I've never had a scope with which I could see much of anything but some large structures on the moon. :( Thinking of getting a Vivitar reflector with 76 mm aperture and up to 525x magnification (doubtful it'd be useful at that magnfication given the size)...what would I be able to see with that? blurs?
@sonbuhitsunei 76mm aperture is a bit too small. Try getting a Dobsonian 6" from Orion Telescopes. Very modest price, but you can see some incredible eye popping stuff.
Fantastic capture. I was considering buying the 9.25" but opted for Meade LX90 8". Need to try Saturn again using 3x Barlow . Truly fantastic capture.
Awesome. Yea I saw saturn thru my telescope saw the rings and stuff but wow wasn't this magnified! I need to get a better telescope lol. Also view jupiter could see its moons but no red spot.. Does anybody know a telescope that can get images like this and views of jupiter where u can see the great red spot and how much would a telescope lke that go for? Thanks
It scares me. Something about it seems menacing. Saturn is a planet of giant, unimaginable size but when confronted up close in real images, it seems creepy. I could just feel my head getting pulled into it, getting ripped up and distorted by the countless treacheries it holds. It floats in a deathly silent stasis of unspeakable horrors. How horrible would it be to just teleport right in front of it or inside of it and have the oxygen sucked out of your lungs then freeze and disintegrate...
@Strawberry1139 Try joining a forum such as Stargazers lounge, there are literally thousands of people, myself included, who will be happy to help you sort out any issues you are having. How expensive was your 'scope? Even through a sub £200 model you should be able to see planets, if it's set up properly.
wow that planet is freezing !! :') it has so many moons! it could support life :) whe i say life i mean bacteria or somthing :) it has winds which reach 1000+mph and the lightening is beyond powerful!!thering is made up of ice rocks and people think that one of the moons colided int it or ameteor,thatswhy the rings are there :) the ring has may layers such s A B C D E F, theFring is very transparent which lets lightthrough and the only reasn we can see saturn is because of the light reflecting.
@cplwkong Absolutely right. Agreed you'll never get the kind of images that Hubble can, and if you want to see large, extremely detailed pictures then you need to look at websites such as NASA, but even with modestly priced DIY equipment you can still take some great photographs. And there's nothing like the thrill of getting a telescope and seeing Saturn, or any other solar system object, for the first time with your own eyes.
When viewing close objects through low end telescopes and binoculars, you have to turn the focus wheel to focus in on objects, but once you range out to past 300 feet, the focus is fixed no matter what distance. That is the same focal position works for all objects. Anyone know why? Thanks.
wow that dose not look like ANYTHING i thought it was going to look like,well the universe is AWOSOME and scary because of blackholes and i think its called black matter or black somthing
i love it so much. i just saw the moon the first time the other day through a telescope it looked so fake. lol like someone slapped a small painting on the other end of the scope. but so beautiful. the craters and everything. almost went blind. its brightttttt :p
i use celestron 127mm (6"?) and i get very crisp image of Saturn, though i prefer the 2x barlow, but when i try to take picture of it it becomes grainy :( This despite the nice motor follow and the steady camera (eos 1000) mount with adapter. i've tried all kinds of speeds using the 1600 or 800 sensitivity more. gotto try with webcam i guess...
@hallobaaaby Definitely use a webcam and download Registax free on the web to turn it into a single composite image-the results will astound you. A DSLR camera is not a good way to do planetary imaging (although make sure you have the mirror locked up). Make sure the sky is steady when you image- check out clear sky clock on the web. That's a good tool for astronomers.
@ibanez2damaxx There are funky things that do look artificial on Saturn: enourmous spikes (miles high!!) rising perpendicular like the SF skyscrapers all along one of the rings. This shit is so high that when lit sidewise their shadow elongate crossing a good portion of the rest of the rings! go and figure! gotto go in dreaming there to see whats up with Saturn..Never liked this planet (as much as i like Jupiter!)
In some winter nights, I could also see Saturn as well as in the video. I have a Skywatcher 6 "F8 Newtonian. The maximum magnification is 200-240 times on the planet.
that is amazing, i am using a bresser 76/700 telescope an saturn does NOT look nearly as good as your 10x more expensice telescope(what a surprse :D )
but I really have to say that the mount you use is very nice, i started with a cheap one and was unable to enjoy anything with my telescope but since i have a good mount i came to the conclusion that a cheap telescope on a good mount is much more fun than a expensive(good) on a cheap mount :D
@siravesta Hallo, ich habe auch mal mit so einem Bresser vor über 15 Jahren angefangen. Lass bloß die Hände von diesen Billigteilen. Die versauen dir den Spaß am beobachten. Du solltest etwas sparen und dir ein richtiges großes Gerät zulegen. Unter 8 Zoll (20 cm) würde ich nicht anfangen. Und der Newton hat das beste Verhältnis zwischen Vor und Nachteilen und ist auch am billigsten. Bresser hat eine neue Teleskopreihe (Messier). Die scheinen ganz gut zu sein und sehen optisch gut aus.
We have a Meade 70mm, and saw Saturn for the first time last night....amazing...we are in New Zealand and it was clear and very distinct but still a little small. Can we purchase better eye pieces to improve the size of the image ? at present we have 19 and 25 mil
Guys this is a typical image of saturn on a 6 inch telescope. Go find your local astronomers' organization. You will see much more impressive things. Things that cannot be captured on a camera
I love using my telescope unfortuanatly though... I dont live within 100 miles of a dark sky location... so much for looking at nebula all i can see is the orion and you can see it with THE NAKED EYE and btw this video isnt fake saturn does look like that through a telescope :P
Now just stack your movie frames with Deep Sky Stacker and u might have a decent image. That's a nice scope u have, with Aperture of 235mm and Focal Length of 2350mm. I have to have pretty good seeing for a view like with my 127mm mak-cas. What magnification power do you suppose you are using for this clip? 250X?
Cool clip! But have amateur telepscopes been able to ascertain if there really are rings around Uranus? Perhaps NASA should employ scientists who are also proctologists to get to the bottom of such a mystery!
LOL. i dont now, but I THINK this is fake. is it possible to actually see saturn this close? no, i mean really? cause im kinda interested in astronomy, but around here, my country, they do not offer astronomy in primary, high school nor college. so i never really learn anything about astronomy, except what i learn by myself from nothing more than just a book and educational video. internet mostly.
@cplwkong Yeah, I figured that out after I posted the comment. I'm just now getting my equipment together plus my tripod needs a lil' TLC to make it a bit more sturdy... Last owner was not kind to it.
@phartattack The reason Saturn moved across your screen was because you dd not have tracking to follow the rotation of the earth. I suggest using a good German equatorial mount. With a good mount, the planet remains stock still in the middle of the frame like mine. On a cheap mount, it skates across the imaging chip like a lazy drunk.
@phartattack That's because you had lousy tracking. If you had a good equatorial mount that is properly polar aligned the planet will stay still like mine.
If your satellite is amateur then mine is for grade schoolers. I mean, it's not that bad, it's expensive but I can't see shit in it properly. Everything is just a dot of light. :(
Those who only spend their time watching manipulated TV, internet and static still book photographs from world class observatories are missing the reality. It is not so much the final video image but rather the experiential process to see this live. It can change peoples lives and it could change the world! I’ve provided this for thousands of hours for the public, my solar h-alpha observing live of the suns surface for over a decade. Google Mark Seibold, artist astronomer Portland Oregon
A fine effort and image processing! What many people do not understand who have never observed extensively through quality optics live, is that we are looking through an ocean of air over 10 miles thick full of distortions, turbulences, jet streams, a constant live atmosphere that changes without notice. It’s a mind blowing experience to view live through quality telescope as this gentleman has offered. Get out to view real time live with your local astro clubs and discover the reality!
Wow. Your telescope's capabilities are AMAZING. I have a Celestron too but Saturn is barely visible with mine. It's probably because of the air/light pollution and also my country's awkward position.
That's pretty cool. Now why don't you point that thing at the Moon and find us some of those ships that are parked up there. I know they're hiding a bunch of stuff going on on the Moon.
Telescope Amateur owners, ALL have "Diffraction Limited Optics" from their Computer Manufactured Optics from dedicated Telescope Retailers NOT Toy Stores like WalMart which is NO Quality Telescope Vendor. All being Equal, Diffraction Limited Optics DO reach their Dawes Resolutions but you"MUST allow 20 minutes or better""Temperature Turbulence Cool Down Times" in order to reach your Aperture Telescopes Maximum Dawe's Resolutions. NO viewing outside a Window, This is the WORST case of the BLURS!!
@Knuffelaar1970 Mr. or Mrs. I suggest before you make your comment. Get yourself a $200.00, Meade 90mm. Aperture, 900mm. or 910mm. Focal Length Telescope.After 15 minutes of "Cooling your Telescope" this Summer, put your 12.5mm. Eyepiece with Barlow into the Drawtube of your Telescope & point it at Suturn,which will look like a +0.1 Magnitude Star,after you check its Location on a Planisphere,hope you know how to use it,Use your GuideScope 6x30mm.Observe a Saturn at 140x or 144x!Saturn Easy SEE
I saw Saturn through an observatory telescope and it wasn't that clear, in fact, I saw a vague shape of it, only luminescent, you must have one hell of a telescope.
@HanakoFairhall Not really...what matters more is atmospheric stability. When the air is not steady, even the best telescope shows Saturn as a shimmering blob. If you google Clear Sky Clock, this free utility will predict "seeing", which is atmospheric stability.
@HanakoFairhall I am an Advanced Amateur Astronomer from 60mm. Carl Wetzlar Refractors to todays 14" Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes.I REALLY DO NOT EXPECT THIS from PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMERS NOT to Even "Cool Down the Air Turbulence inside the Scopes Optics". I Truly FEEL SORRY for your Experience FAILURE. IT is obvious that the Observatory Telescope was given NO Time to "Cool Down the Optics to REMOVE SCOPE CURRENT TURBULENCE". Large Optics require, 120minutes or Longer to Achieve Descent Images!
@cactussheep They are "translucent" in that up close they are made of discrete particulates. however at this distance they reflect so much sun that they look solid. If you look carefully at the inner ring, you will see a slightly diaphanous one...this is called the "crepe" ring. It does look translucent in photos.
@The1FlyingHigh Download on the web the free Registax program. This will allow you to combine the avi into a single composite photo. The results will truly astonish you!
everyone who has watched this and has read my comment the one that says that is not saturn, please dont reply to it because i now know i made a simple mistake.... i am only human..... we all make mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant people just watch a video and get some education? with out expressing their religous beliefs? without insulting the fellow man or woman? and just comment on the video instead of each other? STOP INSULTING THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THESE VIDEOS FOR YOU, AND STOP INSULTING EACH OTHER.
@morea030 About 500X, hard to calculate, but I think that is about right. At this magnification you will need very steady skies. Otherwise it bobs around like crazy.
@cplwkong isnt it focal length of the scope divided by the focal length of the eye piece. ie. 1000mm scope focal length with a 10mm eye piece is 100x magnification?
I saw Saturn last night with my telescope and it looked exactly like that, it was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe it's ring were visible with my telescope. it was amazing
Saturn goes through a cycle just like Earth, here is a good video showing this, they have taken a picture once every year 05/06/07/08 and as you can see the tilt changes.......Just incase there was any doubt ;-)
Nice video. I've just bought a 150mm reflector telescope and saw Saturn last weekend. It was smaller than your image but I could clearly see the rings and the gap between them and the planet.
Ignore the stupid comments about this being fake and try one of the free image stacking programs such as Registax. You should be able to generate a good image by feeding in all those frames.
@EdParaloco Yes, I use Registax. If they think this video is fake, if I showed them the stack composite, which is super clear, they will certainly call that fake too!
@5kat341ife Its not fake, but I can agree that when you look at a planet, especially Saturn, it looks like someone printed out a picture and is holding it in front of you. :)

I’ve provided this for thousands of hours for the public, my solar h-alpha observing live of the suns surface for over a decade. Google Mark Seibold, artist astronomer Portland Oregon

A fine effort and image processing! What many people do not understand who have never observed extensively through quality optics live, is that we are looking through an ocean of air over 10 miles thick full of distortions, turbulences, jet streams, a constant live atmosphere that changes without notice. It’s a mind blowing experience to view live through quality telescope as this gentleman has offered. Get out to view real time live with your local astro clubs and discover the reality!

This looks like you went to a planetarium and came out with a 6 inch Saturn and made that out to be the 'real' one. Good effort though.

Wow. Your telescope's capabilities are AMAZING. I have a Celestron too but Saturn is barely visible with mine. It's probably because of the air/light pollution and also my country's awkward position.

That's pretty cool. Now why don't you point that thing at the Moon and find us some of those ships that are parked up there. I know they're hiding a bunch of stuff going on on the Moon.

Telescope Amateur owners, ALL have "Diffraction Limited Optics" from their Computer Manufactured Optics from dedicated Telescope Retailers NOT Toy Stores like WalMart which is NO Quality Telescope Vendor. All being Equal, Diffraction Limited Optics DO reach their Dawes Resolutions but you"MUST allow 20 minutes or better""Temperature Turbulence Cool Down Times" in order to reach your Aperture Telescopes Maximum Dawe's Resolutions. NO viewing outside a Window, This is the WORST case of the BLURS!!

@Knuffelaar1970 Mr. or Mrs. I suggest before you make your comment. Get yourself a $200.00, Meade 90mm. Aperture, 900mm. or 910mm. Focal Length Telescope.After 15 minutes of "Cooling your Telescope" this Summer, put your 12.5mm. Eyepiece with Barlow into the Drawtube of your Telescope & point it at Suturn,which will look like a +0.1 Magnitude Star,after you check its Location on a Planisphere,hope you know how to use it,Use your GuideScope 6x30mm.Observe a Saturn at 140x or 144x!Saturn Easy SEE

I saw Saturn through an observatory telescope and it wasn't that clear, in fact, I saw a vague shape of it, only luminescent, you must have one hell of a telescope.

@HanakoFairhall Not really...what matters more is atmospheric stability. When the air is not steady, even the best telescope shows Saturn as a shimmering blob. If you google Clear Sky Clock, this free utility will predict "seeing", which is atmospheric stability.

@HanakoFairhall I am an Advanced Amateur Astronomer from 60mm. Carl Wetzlar Refractors to todays 14" Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes.I REALLY DO NOT EXPECT THIS from PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMERS NOT to Even "Cool Down the Air Turbulence inside the Scopes Optics". I Truly FEEL SORRY for your Experience FAILURE. IT is obvious that the Observatory Telescope was given NO Time to "Cool Down the Optics to REMOVE SCOPE CURRENT TURBULENCE". Large Optics require, 120minutes or Longer to Achieve Descent Images!

@HanakoFairhall No really. It is a middle-of the road model. Atmospheric stability, good tracking and good optical collimation are also important.

the rings looks very visible.. aren't they suppose to be slightly translucent?
cactussheep 8 months ago
@cactussheep They are "translucent" in that up close they are made of discrete particulates. however at this distance they reflect so much sun that they look solid. If you look carefully at the inner ring, you will see a slightly diaphanous one...this is called the "crepe" ring. It does look translucent in photos.
cplwkong 8 months ago 2
Nice. You can even see a little detail in the rings.

When I captured the picture of saturn using my 8" dobsonian with a P&S camera, some dumb ass doubted that I have done it.
But I know someone with very little optics knowledge knows, its not impossible. Rather easy.

morea030 9 months ago
@morea030 About 500X, hard to calculate, but I think that is about right. At this magnification you will need very steady skies. Otherwise it bobs around like crazy.
cplwkong 9 months ago
@cplwkong isnt it focal length of the scope divided by the focal length of the eye piece. ie. 1000mm scope focal length with a 10mm eye piece is 100x magnification?

Saturn goes through a cycle just like Earth, here is a good video showing this, they have taken a picture once every year 05/06/07/08 and as you can see the tilt changes.......Just incase there was any doubt ;-)

Nice video. I've just bought a 150mm reflector telescope and saw Saturn last weekend. It was smaller than your image but I could clearly see the rings and the gap between them and the planet.
Ignore the stupid comments about this being fake and try one of the free image stacking programs such as Registax. You should be able to generate a good image by feeding in all those frames.
TheWonkyTripod 9 months ago
Excellent video! Did you stack the frames into a single image?
Don´t worry about the sceptical remarks, there are a lot of stupids out there...
