Jupiter telescope view - Low budget planetary astrophotography

[jdastro]

Good job! You certainly know how to get the most bang for the buck!

wow the topic of planets is so interesting!!! i wish i had a telescope to view other planets from earth.

Great video! The final image after stacking with registax is nice too!

Cheers!

nice vid. great clarity and quality given the tools used.

Its not about the telescope, its about the eyepiece :D or am i wrong ?

[OOTWAstronomy]

@xxxdaplayaxxx its mostly Aperture. in other words the diameter width of the telescope. in this case 6 inches. its a reflector and that means using a bigger mirror at the base end and a small one near the top end. basically the wider the scope the more light you can gather which means more stuff can be seen. and also further into space can be seen. eye pieces are for the magnification of the image. hope this helps.

planet x was the undefinied name for eries....transplutonian objects...oder so

Sweet!!! The only thing I could see with my Model RB-60 Telestar Meade Telescope is the Moon,One time my stupid dad thinking that he was looking at the moon and I was arguing about it with him,he kept saying that it was the moon when it was are outside back yard light,Can that make you go blind?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@1488nazissheriselitz If you head the telescope to a bright light while not focusing correctly the image, you see a circle of light, similar to a moon or a planet. Several years ago I also got confused that way. This is not stupid at all, just it is due to not being an expert on telescopes.

@CumputerPhysiscsLab I am NOT trying to reply in any bad way,but a Light-Bulb on your Telescope does NOT look like a Moon.A Light-Source will only look like a blob of Light in any Telescope unless focused.At 12 years of Age in 1972 with my 80mm.Aperture Carl WETZLAR Refractor I could see theLunar-Terminator at QuarterPhase,at 120x & 144x I could see dozens of Craters,Mountains Pyreenes,Rilles &Fissures &the Great-Wall of the Lunar Surface.In 1982 with My C8,I became ASTRONOMY Astro-Photographer!

Did you use any Barlow with this shot or just prime focus?

Hey! Was anyone watching planet Jupiter last night a little after midnight. Anyways, I noticed a spark coming out of the area of the planet. I wasn't using any type of telescope or binoculars, just plain sight. I went to my truck and got me a pair of binoculars and headed behind my house where the street lights are blocked off. As I was getting ready to watch the sky I noticed again another spark from Jupiter's area. I put on my binoculars and noticed that the moons were in that directions.

@elpumta2005 Awesome!!

[msenin]

Did you have tracking? How did you get Jupiter to be centered do well and without any shaking?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@msenin The magic is a software called Registax. In the original video, the planet is moving from one edge to the other constantly. My telescope is not motorized nor equatorial, so the planet shakes a lot.

[msenin]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab I thought Registax only works with images. I didn't know it processes video too. Thanks for the tip.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@msenin There is also another good free software that makes the job, called Castrator by Emil Kraaikamp:

@CumputerPhysiscsLab Excellent! I'd never think it's a serious trademark :)

[Jules7892]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab Thanks a lot ComputerPysicsLab for letting me know about the "Colour V-Block Colour Fringe Filter". It works GREAT for my SkyWatcher 120mm. Aperture 1000mm. Focal Length Refractor,just a Great Orion-V-Block filter without getting into the more Expensive Aries Chromacorr, I now have a better method of eliminating "Secondary Spectrum of Chromatic error" in my SkyWatcher Refractor now performs as an Apochromatic Refractors!!!!

@CumputerPhysiscsLab 6 inch telescope for 50 bucks?? Bullshit.
