Jupiter through a 6mm lens

[legion48]

I've often heard that a Toucam at prime focus gives the same image size as looking through a 6mm EP. Last night, for the first time, I looked at Jupiter through a 6mm EP. Later, while I was getting Jupiter centered on the Toucam's chip, I was struck by how similar in size it looked to the view through the 6mm.

I rattled off a few frames and have adjusted the colour and brightness to what I feel is a good match to the 6mm EP view from a Celestron C6.

Looks more or less what I see through my 10mm with 2x barlow @ 120x

Thats a very good image

It is an interesting comparison between a webcam & a short focus eyepiece.

Good capture L48 , as mentioned, a good example of the close comparison to a short FL EP. The skies looked XLNT last night after the clouds began to clear.
