Jupiter Through 5" Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT

This is Jupiter on 09-19-2011 I shot it through my Celestron NexStar 130 slt. I used a 9mm Eye Piece and a 2x Barlow. I Recorded Video with a Sony HD Digital HandyCam.

Yes they look better through the eyepiece than the video.

This is why I put this video up, I got this telescope at a great price and I had a hard time finding videos that were shot through it. i wanted to be able to give other people interested in this telescope an idea what they would see through it.

[DusterG20]

Sure

[ParaglidingManiac]

I want to buy this telesope soon! Can I ask you a few questions, please?

[DusterG20]

@ParaglidingManiac Sure.

can you link where you got you Barlow 2x scope? Im about to buy this telescope and dont want to buy the wrong barlow.

Thanks!

I have this scope too but I am having trouble finding a protective case/bag for the scope. I do not want to spend a whole heap of money either, can you recommend me one?

Great shot of Jupiter!

Just a small note:I also own the SLT-130mm. Aperture Celestron GOTO. 130mm. Aperture=5.1 inches,127mm. Aperture= 5.0 inches atF/5.0 or 650mm.Focal Length.Also you can do Auto-Guidance or Manual Guidance with the SLT-130 Computerized.Use a Celestron BinoViewer where the left 1.25" Stereo-Draw tube is your C.C.D. Camera and your right Stereo-Draw tube is your Illuminated Reticle or Guiding C.C.D. Camera. Also use a "Barlow 2x" before your Newtonian Reflector Bino-viewer is inserted,focus achieved!

Are you using any filter ?

Really impressive. I've had some small refractors and thinking of a larger one but all the videos seem to show reflectors as beating them hands down on planets. Then I thought of a Mak but that short tube reflector is almost as portable. Most informative, thanks.

@DusterG20 do planets look better through the telescope than in this video? I picked it up last night but I'm debating whether to get the dobsonian telescope and take this one back.... the meade 10 inch lightbridge i was thinking.
