Tiny Jupiter

[MilwaukeeLion]

A baby Jupiter from last week.  ED80TCF, Neximage Burst ccd, 2x barlow, EQ-G mount, icap, registax. Second Jupiter attempt - improvement in color and detail.  First time using EQMOD/Stellarium to guide Atlas EQ-G mount, fun controlling telescope from inside vs being in cold outside.

Nice Jupite... But.... Isn't being out in the cold a part of amateur astronomy?

[MilwaukeeLion]

Thanks, maybe, but this set up turns any dwelling into instant observatory.  Set up scope, polar align,  go inside, have drink / observe.  My Nikon says not to operate below 32 F, I worry I might damage it when temp drops.  Little ccd can handle -40 C, no need to sit outside and stare at it.   Ordered better ccd, hoping atik infinity will improve observatory view.

That is a beautiful little Jupiter and made all the better by the moons in the image as well.

Yes, a splendid Jupiter with some good detail and excellent moons. Must be fun to control the scope from inside.

Very nice Image of Jupiter and its moons.

Thats' a great capture.

Just as we see it in the EP.

Sometimes I wonder if we get too greedy trying for the perfect image when we end up with just the planet cropped and no moons.

Demonstrates the immensity of space better than a higher mag would.

I like it. Simple, honest and still very nice!

It looks just like it should, another world with it's moons floating in space...

[T-WING]

I like this too. Lonely planet.
