Jupiter Rotation from May 16, 2005

[davidbio1]

Realmente impressionante essa imagem!!!

[jeudyx]

Very nice. I know the amount of work behind such a video. Recenly I made one, including Ganimede transit.

Also with an 8 inch Newtonian and the Phillips SPC900.

Congrats!

[sc0rpi0n0]

Holy amazing!

[TheTaylenaLover]

wow jupiter rotates very longer ull turn 1 when u die! lol cool pic tho

[emgee65]

@TheTaylenaLover Not really ........... Jupiter takes 10hrs to rotate once where as our Earth takes 24hrs.

But Jupiter takes around 12 years to orbit the Sun where the Earth takes just 365 days.

[Zeethr]

spectacular video of jupiter...

must have taken quite some time. thanks for the upload.

5/5 stars

[GUILDGOB]

This is an excellent video of jupiter! I can't believe you made this X.X

[GetMeThere1]

Excellent resolution! Nicely done.

[RealScience09]

yes it is possible look at mine. check out my page and video responce it is possible with my 16" telescope. Of course its possible

[blizzconftw]

imposible to do with that telescope.

[sunflowerastronomy]

Very possible. Have you ever used an eight inch telescope?

[OOjiBoy]

@sunflowerastronomy what magnification/lenses did you use, to obtian this image. ?

[reshu151]

hi i am really newbies yday i seen jupiter with my mead lx90 10inch telescope all i can see is white ball and little two of his moon i want to know how can i see more in details and do i need to change my eyepiece i only have eyepiece supplied with telescope

[verycrazyghoul]

Fuck you, it is another fake.

[appledelicious123]

but actually jupiter rotates faster.

[UnchainTheNight1]

@appledelicious123 which makes the gravity entirely rediculous lol

in parts there is probably gas packed so tight that it is as hard as a solid

[sunflowerastronomy]

Jupiter's rotation period is 9 hours and 56 minutes. You can see it rotate by just watching for an hour or so. Apparently you have never looked at any of the planets through a telescope for more than a second or two if at all.

[Videowiiwii]

@Joshuaguss your an idiot, dude its obiessly its real gosh and its not evry 200 years its not even a full rotation dumbass, god non of our faults!

[m2kronic]

it's just a peephole, focused on a septic tank. LOL

[moviemakers97]

I got a question.

Can i see saturn good with a 4,5 inch telescope?

[guitarplayer4real]

Yes, absolutely! Get some decent eyepieces and get a 2 x and a 3 x barlow....

You'll see Jupiter and most of its moons. The moon is fantastic. You will also see clearly the Orion Nebula, The Dumbbell neb, globular clusters in Hercules..

I have over 15 years and a 10 and 12 inch newt now days but just bought my kid a 4.5 inch Celestron.. its wonderful. Have fun, its a great first scope if you one! Look at a brand name if you can afford it.

[moviemakers97]

Cool! ty man

[MrCalhoun]

The effectiveness of a telescope also depends on where you live and if you are capable of getting to a sweet observing point with low light pollution.

[jamieball]

I view saturn with my 4.5 " skywatcher telescope and I can see 5 moons and some details of the planets surface. It looks great !

[sedativechunk]

Can't wait! I got an Orion XT8 Dobsonian coming in the mail in two days. I hope to find some good stuff in the sky!

Nice video of Jupiter, that must have taken some sitting around to get multiple captures like that!

[guitarplayer4real]

Awesome... Have you got it yet?

One of the biggest challenges to start with was learning how to find everything in the sky. Once you have that you are going to have a ton of fun with that scope.

I took my DOB apart and now have the tube on top of an EQ motorized mount...

Its an upgrade that you can do later as well if you choose to expand.

Now its astrophotography instead of just looking:-) That Orion has some great optics, enjoy!

[sedativechunk]

I got mine a couple of month's ago already. It's computerized but I have yet to set the computer up. Myself, I have been able to find and see Mercury, Venus, and Saturn. Nebula wise, I've seen the orion nebula and another constellation I can't remember the name of. I pretty much know where everything is in the sky, as I use Stellarium to locate objects before going outside.

I can't use it much now, I have a raccoon problem at my house and I have to eliminate them before taking my telescope out!

[guitarplayer4real]

LOL:-p Darn Raccoons are destructive little suckers. We have them locally as well and they tear up a lot. Thing is, where there are Raccoons there is usually darker skies, presuming that you are out in the country somewhere.

Hoping to put my equipment on a permanent mount sometime soon. If I do that I'll do a roll away roof on a shed or something.. Till then I'm stuck like you, setting up and tearing down all the time..

Still, fun stuff! Enjoy that fine scope...

[weldingwhiz77]

wow..i have a 14 inch dob,and jupiter looks nothing like that.i know you said in a previous comment that the pictures were stacked,and i understand that,but its big,bigger then what i have achieved with my scope,although i was only using 150 magnification.i think i have to increase the magnification.were you using a barlow?what magnification were you at?

[Pingletons]

Yes, you will have to increase the magnification. Your scope could easily handle 500x, but you are going to need pristine seeing conditions obviously. You shouldn't have to go that high though, try a 2x barlow on your 150x eyepiece for 300x.

[weldingwhiz77]

what sixe telescope did you do this with?

[sunflowerastronomy]

It was taken with an eight inch telescope.

[RJL738]

Jupiter is almost 1,500 times larger than the Earth.

[lumlum1993]

dude i hav seen every planet thru a telescope but earth lol

[gunnerboy100]

I got a cheap telescope for $150 and it's as good as this.50% off!It's called Celestron Astromaster 114. Jupiter is my favorite planet.

[KevinTechnology]

thats what i have, great scope, great price.

[kaoruneko16]

that's soooo awesome. I can see the red spot.

[guitarheromast7]

WOW!

[WTFp0s]

I wish i had that zoom on my SLR

[RUbball123]

my jupiter doesent look as good through my 12 inch, it just looks like a white dot with brown lines on it, and really faint, can someone tell me how to get it so good?

[Astronomyking]

Thats because you eyes cannot provide an "instant" perfect image. These were pictures that were stacked, when you do this it produces a picture way better that your eyes could ever provide. You should buy a CCD camera with an autoguider or you could buy an inexpensive adapter so you could just use a digital camera you already have.

Hope this helps

[Dragoshte]

can i see jupiter with a lunete?

[memoryproblem]

hoochis, go to a good telescope dealer. Meade website should have list of authorized dealers. When you make your purchase, they can give a basic tutorial that will get you started. I have a Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, 8" and I got it from Highpoint Scientific in New Jersey. They told me everything I needed to know and spent an hour talking with me AFTER I purchased the scope. Good luck and have fun!

[hoochis]

can someone please help me?

i am going to get a meade cassegrain telescope but i dont know ne thing about wut camera do get for it and i dont know how to hook it up when i get 1. so can someone tell me what camera to get and how to hook up a digital and video camera to a telescope?

[kingdakaman]

Which eyepiece did you use?

[sunflowerastronomy]

No eyepiece. Just a Philips ToUcam Pro webcam in place of the eyepiece. The webcam lens was removed and a 1.25 inch eyepiece adaptor was screwed in place of the lens.
