Jupiter and moons

So Joseph, a fellow who lives in my appartment building, was showing me various stars in his binoculars. It dawned on me that my camera had better magification than his binocs, so I broke it out. Unfortunately, I did not know how to manually focus, and the camera would not auto-focus on the star. So Joseph went to bed, and I went to studying my camera's manual. I went back outside and this little snippet is what I got. I am not sure if YouTune is capable of allowing the upload to maintain enough sharpness for you to see the moons, but the camera did indeed catch the image, so I was pretty stoked.

OK SUCCESS!!! (sort of)

If you look in high quality mode and carefully adjust your position in relation to your monitor, you can see one of the two moons.

Not too impressive... I need to see if perhaps digital zoom will bring it in better...

Well, so far the stupid thing does not offer me the high quality option. Most all of my videos eventually offer the high quality option.

Guess I will check tomorrow... But clearly you can not see the moons on this resolution of youtube, which is sad. I mean, not sad sad, but just a little sad...
