Io occults Europa seen through Galileoscope

[ParaglidingManiac]

Hello,

I have a problem looking through my Galileoscope. Could you help me please? When ever I am trying to look through it, it is very difficult to navigate my self. When I point the "nose" of the scope UP - the image I see goes down. I guess it could be called inverse or reverse. Not that the image is upside down, but trying to look at an object is almost impossible. What's the problem? Thank you!

@ParaglidingManiac the combination of lenses makes it so that everything is upside down. You just gotta deal with it.

Let's say I am zero at astrology. How do I navigate myself in the night sky? How do I ffind planets to look at? Any basics for noobs?;)

@ParaglidingManiac well for starters its called astronomy not astrology :)

oh and get a sky chart-reading the sky is not like reading a map, it depends what time of year it is. you can also download programs like SkyGazer that let you see everything in the sky at certain times

@ParaglidingManiac Download and install "Stellarium" its free, and its great!

I used a Philips ToUcam Pro II (model 840) webcam.

What kind of webcam did you use?

Wow. I haven't tried to see Jupiter yet through my Galileoscope, but I'm impressed with your results. Hard to believe a $15 telescope can do this!

I know! In person you can see the different colour bands too! It's amazing. I can't wait to see Saturn. That will be around February.
