Jupiter from the Humble Tasco 114

[Cozzy]

I got so fed up with purple avi's from my 120mm frac and spc880 that I got my Tasco 114 out from retirement and took a few avi's using 2X and 3X barlows which is a much as i dared, weather wasn't great either, taken on the 27th Feb.

thanks for looking.

Great job!

Tim,

Excellent image and very impressive given the poor viewing conditions and a 4.5" newt! Good job holding this steady at 3x - is this the famed TAL 3x barlow?

Very nice result, the scope may be humble, but that result is something to make you proud

Nice one Tim i have the exact same scope sat in my roof & just about to part with it to the father in law, manual tracking may pose a few problems for him though but still a good scope to have in your collection, well done.

Very nice Tim, even getting a quick glimpse of jupiter is hard enough in Lancashire with all the cloud cover we have.

What a great image, the spc really is brilliant in any scope it would seem, well done on getting the best from both.

Very nice Tim - Jupiter sharp enough for a crop and rescale larger. Who said these old scopes does work?

[allcart]

Wow Tim, I can only echo what the others have said. You almost make me want to get mine out of retirement too.

[Cozzy]

Thanks every one for the very kind messages, much appreciated.

Jake the barlow was just a cheap and cheerful from scopesandskys I think, about £25/30, the scope was sat on a tracking EQ5 mate.

Allen you should get it out of retirement, theres far to much put out to pasture before their time ;.)

nytecam, I had a look at cropping and enlarging it but it just brought out all the onion rings, maybe on a clearer night and more frames I could get away with doing that. thers always next time Hey

It is a cracking little camera for what they cost, i'm well impressed with it, however I put into my 120mm refractor, It got great detail but couldn't manage the CA, but that not cameras fault it the scope.
