Sorry as I do not know, as I piggy backed some music off an internet steam. I did not write the name of the music down.

you should invest in a nice set of filters.

How close can you zoom in on jupiter itself?

[ASTROSCAN3002001]

I posess a few filters acually, some of the videos are through filters. My favorite is the Celestron 58A. I have the Orion Mars filter and a moon filter. I have the same experince with them, the red one just colors planets red, the yellow one colors them yellow. Doesn't matter because the camera is black and white. So I use whats best.. The more you zoom in on Jupiter, and the stronger the magnification, the more the atmospheric disturbance blurrs it. So I just put the camera on the scope.

the four known moons are already visible to the naked eye, so why should we wait Galileo to discover them? can someone tell me why?

i was able to see all 4 of them (was really lucky) with a good pair of binoculars, ableit the moons were fainter... here the result is much better with a good telescope
