Jupiter through 102mm apochromatic refractor telescope

4 inch refractor Takahashi FS-102
2011-02-06
Canon EOS 450d (Rebel XSi) DSLR camera capturing video with eos_movrec
Post-processing with Registax 5.1 and Fitswork4
Good seeing, no turbulence, good transparency

If you want to play with Registax, Avistack or AutoStakkert you may use my Jupiter raw footage; download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbu38q5ucq9diwz/Jupiter-Takahashi-FS-102-F40-20...

This video is not about Ufo Sightings nor Nasa Imagery. It is just about what an astronomy amateur can depict through a backyard telescope looking at a clear night sky.

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.

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

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

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

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@jdastro Registax 5.1 and Fitswork

OMFG

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,

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.

@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?"

[oomblikkies]

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

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.

[evhvariac2]

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.

[2012Steelerfan]

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