Jupiter at the telescope

[deathbecomesu187]

looks like shit

[Antoonio21]

is that how it really looks?

im sorry but is that it doesnt seem real

im so confused this is how it really looks like when u look on the telescope?

[qwerty9321]

@Antoonio21 We can see a lot more details if the frames of this video is stacked using a software like Registax. I must say also that this is a BIG telescope with a mirror around 16" diameter and focus around 2000mm . The small ccd of the camera I use to capture the movie was at the newtonian focus, that enlarges a bit the image in relation to looking through an eyepiece. It´s all true.

Nice telescope! I wish I knew how to make of those. If only there was someone to guide me in person..

[qwerty9321]

@ParaglidingManiac Look for zambutomirrorgroup on Yahoo groups. Mr Zambuto is a gentle icon on mirror making and along many years has been helping and teaching amateurs like me how to make good mirrors.

[ninjiss]

is it a reflecting telesocpe u used

[qwerty9321]

@ninjiss yes.

[shinkster12]

so cool, i brought out the telescope tonight and the moons are so apparent...pretty awesome

[fcofelixx]

i see two moones there, which moones are those?

io

europa?

[pronubles]

THE JUPITER HAS 4 MOONS.

[DirtyThing20]

jupiter has over 60 moons, but 4 of them are big ones...

[pronubles]

ok thanks

[DirtyThing20]

hard to say..

[chrisbear08]

how did you get it so clear through a webcam? i use a celestron neximage and can't get nothing? how you do it

[Rambo4President]

Jupiter's a bad motherfucker.

[RJL738]

Good job filming. Jupiter is more than 1,400 times the Earth's volume and has more than 63 known moons.

[chrisbear08]

yea and the giant red spot is a storm the size of 3 earths! fasinating

[Jas0nphilly]

aka satellites

[ebayrs]

How many inch is the telescope you are using?

[qwerty9321]

That one was a 14" with a mask covering a defect near the mirror edge. Probably a neat 13".

[opiates]

Wow nice. But it looks like you also caught 2 of it's moons nearby. Maybe?

[mota1427]

qwerty9321...we have only meade company in our contry...what our advice and can i see jupitar an space stations by etx125..thanks for sharing your info

[havefaith445]

What kind of telescope did you used?

[qwerty9321]

It´s an open truss tube newtonian, I made the mirror and telescope, this one was a 34cm diameter and focus 2000mm.

[Carlsagan93]

so, Does it have 34cm diameter and focus 2 meters?

[qwerty9321]

Correct.

[ebayrs]

How many inch is your telescope?

[RJL738]

Few people realise that when they look at that through a telescope, they are seeing something that is almost 1,500 times the volume of Earth that is mostly raging storms and has more than 60 known moons.

[mkf272]

how much would a telescope like that cost?

[qwerty9321]

It depends if you are willing to build it yourself or not. The mirror is the most expensive part, about 1.5k a good 14" and $300 for the secondary, focuser and eyepiece, wood and aluminum tubing. Make the mirror, build it yourself and it will cheap.

[capricious71]

Amazing image. I didn't think most telescopes would go much about 500-600x because of the atmosphere, etc. but 1000x ?! That's crazy!

[distr0ia]

wow, excellent

[CommunistHunter]

What type of telescope you do this with

[jmanofrock]

hello, i just bought a telescope.. its is a 1000mm refractor, and i tried to see the plantest with a 10mm eyepeice but was unable too... i just bought a 4mm eyepeice for it. could any1 know if this would work to see saturn or not? thanks so much!

[qwerty9321]

It depends on the lens quality and diameter. Usually reflectors are cheaper for the same image quality because they don´t suffer from cromatic aberrations.

[CommunistHunter]

1000mmm focal length? What ou have to look for when you buy a telescope primarily is aperture. That will tell you what to expect. Then after aperture, focal length comes into play depending on what you want to do, like Deep Sky, Planetary, Lunar, etc.

[ViperGuy10]

Great Video!!!

[nsjsjsjsd]

i saw 2 of the moons. awesome catch!!!!

[bstep13]

you can see one of the moons which is neat.

[kam75]

with 10x binos you can see 4 moons on any dark night very easy.

[DoctorWhoCrazy777]

!!! well done! ive always wanted to see jupiter >:( but the vids great! :P congrats

[jamminit2]

LOL

[Pustea1]
