Object next to Jupiter?

Recommended Posts

Just had a quick look at Jupiter through my 70/700 scope and saw an object very close to Jupiter, just passed callisto. It looks cone shaped, almost like a comet with a wide tail traveling away from Jupiter..or like a cone shaped nebula. It's really big though!

I have never seen this before and am wondering if anybody else can see this right now or am I going a little crazy?

An internal reflection of Jupiter is all.

Now I feel a bit silly but whew! Thanks Steve!

I'm using my usual lenses but have an adapter attached so I will remove that and look again. Not going to lie, I got a little nervous as I never saw this before but normally don't use the adapter so guessing that is what may have caused it.

Nothing whatsoever to feel silly about ... 😉
