Gadget Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Very happy this morning as at last I have managed to see the GRS after almost a year of trying But this was due to me using Stellarium to predict GRS which some members kindly pointed out was no good for GRS transits and pointed me to the Sky and telescope one which was spot onViewing Jupiter was simply stunning with the best views I have seen so far but I must say the GRS was a lot paler than I thought it would be but still a fine sight and easily seenThe detail that I could see was breathtaking as I went through various eyepieces but in the end I settled on my newly acquired Celestron 17mm LX ultima (138X) which easily gave the best views I could even see some structure in the main belt which I have not seen beforeI did set up with the intention of looking at allot more objects but as soon as I focused in on Jupiter it looked so fantastic I spent my whole session just viewing it and watching the GRS slowly drift accrossKevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bish Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 well done. The GRS can be alot trickier to see than you expect. There have been times when I couldn't be 100% sure I was looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
