MorgonGreen Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi guys,I was just wondering what eyepiece with a Bresser 70/700 telescope would be used to see Jupiter ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Something that gives 100x - 120x would be good for Jupiter with that scope. That would mean using a 7mm or 6mm eyepiece. Alternatively you could use a 2x barlow lens with a 14mm or 12mm eyepiece for a similar result.These are just suggestions though. If you don't have such eyepieces / barlows just use the nearest you do have and enjoy the views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mc c Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 With your scope,probably a 10mm would be the highest power at x100 mag,but it all depends on how steady the air is,but a lower power eyepiece will show. You a nice view of its moons which is facinating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If you have a 25mm and a 10mm use the 25 to centre it then swap for the 10 to make it appear slightly bigger ... If the seeing conditions are OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgonGreen Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Could you be able to direct me into where to get a 10MM lens for the UK.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoobar Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 http://www.astroboot.co.uk/http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/I would buy second hand from astroboot personally, should cost £10. If you get more serious spend some more but not necessary at the moment, the outlay would not be justified IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoobar Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Also you really need jupiter to be as high in the sky as possible, this will probably mean observing between 2-4 am for optimum views. Well worth the effort though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
