Jupiter Rotation from May 16, 2005

Animation of Jupiter rotating. Video is composed of frames made from several AVIs recorded with a ToUcam Pro web camera through a Meade LXD55 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain telescope on May 16, 2005. The AVI frames of each video were aligned and stacked with Registax. The stacked images from each AVI were then combined into an animation. Details can be found on my web site http://www.sunflower-astronomy.com

imposible to do with that telescope.

[sunflowerastronomy]

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

[weldingwhiz77]

what sixe telescope did you do this with?

[sunflowerastronomy]

It was taken with an eight inch 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.

but actually jupiter rotates faster.

[RJL738]

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

@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.

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!

@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
