Jupiter through 102mm apochromatic refractor telescope

[blueridgebr163]

Thank you very much videos like yours make searching through you tube worthwhile. Great scope and fantastic images. I live in a city and i am thinking of investing in a quality refracter myself as i understand they are the best for viewing the planets under light polluted skies. Please keep up the great work your demonstration of the process was generous and priceless.

This is interesting, but do we really need this while we get the exceptional high resolution images from the Cassini spacecraft?

@oomblikkies The purpose of this video is not to just have a pretty picture of jupiter. Also a comment like this can be likened to saying "Why should I go to the Grand Canyon when I can just google pictures of it?"

Great image at the end of the process.

Hey, what eyepiece do you use for this. Im new to astronomy, but id like to get some clean images like you.

[dobermannbite]

Thanks lab for an amazing post, a life changing tutorial and excellent advice. I now have a 127 celestron Mak and neximage, just need some clear nights now :0) I shall be returning to this post often, many thanks and much love x

@dobermannbite I hope you enjoy clear nights with your new telescope. The 127 Mak is a great telescope for planets and Moon.

Excellent

Sweet set-up i just got my first telescope a Celestron Nexstar 102 SLT with 4mm eyepiece and a custom 4 in. refractor... great vid. and sweet pics.

Awesome. I am going to buy a telescope soon. I received a 102mm from Edu Science as a gift but it's totally worthless.

[Tricyklist]

A really excellent video! It would have been nice to have more information in the descriptive text before watching. Rather than waiting for the credits. But that's just nitpicking. Congratulations on having the imagination to show us how the software works its magic.

could someone advise me on what filters i should use on my telescope in order to see the detail on jupiter? thanks <3 <3

question....I'm not an astronomer but...I have been researching pole shifting....and from 2008 to 2011 ....jupiter seems to itself be experiencing a massive pole shift according to the photos i have come across...any explanation? Thanks for your time.

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

Between this there which should I choice as a beginner?

Celestron FirstScope, reflector newtonian

Celestron Travel Scope 70, refractor

Celestron CLST-C70, Mini Mak Spotting Scope

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@WatchmenDrManhattan Refractor would be my 1st option, Maksutov 2nd, and reflector the 3rd.

[jdastro]

Good job processing the video - what software are you using?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@jdastro Registax 5.1 and Fitswork

[sakkurae]

OMFG 

[igotmail2]

An amazing result! Thank you very much indeed for sharing this! I never expected so many visible details, even in the single frames, from a 4 inch refractor. And Registax did a very good job too.

Best regards from Berlin, Germany,

i just picked up a celestron c4-r 4 inch refractor. the scope came on a rather crappy eq mount. do you have any suggestions for a reasonable priced, yet sturdy mount i could get for it?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@skyof2010 Try Celestron Omni CG4 eq mount. It costs 270US$ at optcorp dot com. If you want to spend more money and get a semiprofessional mount, look at Losmandy GM-8, but it costs 1,500 US$.

guauu fantastico video!

[TelescopeAtNight]

Nice job! What are you using to get so close? Barlowed prime focus?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@TelescopeAtNight Through eyepiece projection with a 10mm eyepiece. It magnifies the image approximately like a 5x Barlow lens in my camera.

[TelescopeAtNight]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab I never had much luck with afocal projection, the weight of a camera causes no end of problems with a dobson mount! Fantastic work anyway!
