This is an afocal video showing the appearance of Jupiter through my telescope. This was taken during the period of absence of the South Equatorial Belt, so the only major feature is the NEB which is clearly visible. The camera was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 on an afocal mount. Thanks for watching!

Is this with a filter?As I see jupiter through my binoculars it looks really bright so is it the same with a telescope and no filters?

@denispkpk Hey, no no filter - it looks bright through the binoculars because they have low magnification - the more you magnify it, the dimmer it appears - I had zoomed in loads.

What size eyepiece are you using here ?
furrypotato 1 year ago
@furrypotato I think it was a 10mm eyepiece, but I also zoomed in a bit on the camera. That said, you don't need to enlarge the disc as much as in this video to see the details really well in real life.

@george7378 Thanks. I've got the very similar Celestron 130 and was wondering as I didnt get as much detail.
Great to see so much detail. This I'll have to get some Barlow lenses as they basically do the same, don't they?
By the way, have you had to do any colimation on your telescope ?
furrypotato 1 year ago
@furrypotato I think you see most when the air is steady. I have never collimated the telescope, but I think it is in pretty good shape anyway. Barlow lenses will improve the magnification, but can also make the view blurry if you don't invest in a good quality one because you are looking through more glass.
