@BrAdEnSB666 the camera is able to zoom in that is why Jupiter appears larger. Viewing with your eye into the eyepiece it still looks relatively small.
@BrAdEnSB666 the camera can zoom in on the planet that is why it appears closer in the video. Try using an 8mm or 5mm eyepiece you will be able to see more detail but it will still remain relatively small.
@guerrj02 well I used my 10mm and it did get a bit closer and it certainly made it clearer but it still looks far away, my telescope can supposedly see nebula and galaxy's, but if so shouldn't Jupiter look bigger?
@LongHairRocker I used my Nikon Coolpix S550 and just held it up to the eyepiece...Poorman's astrovid. I really don't know much about a 8". The only other scope I have is a Meade LXD55 10".
@guerrj02 I got a barlow lens now anywho. so it looks way closer

@BrAdEnSB666 Yes, the smaller the eyepiece the greater the magnification. Also, my camera magnified the image also.

@guerrj02 I have a 10mm.. is it the smaller the better zoom?

@BrAdEnSB666 try an 8mm or 5mm eyepiece and you'll be able to really zoom in on Jupiter.
