Jupiter

Uploaded by: beautyintheuniverse
Video Description:
A brief description of looking at Jupiter through an 11in schmidt cassegrain reflector. However the scope was in this case clearly limited by the atmosphere (basically a telescope about half the size would have given about the same performance.
Its actually an 11in CPC celestron which come in at about 2.5k bux. It comes with lots of bells n whistles and is impressively quick and easy to set up.
Jupiter is typically the fourth brightest object in the sky and is currently (end of summer 08) seen in the South at sunset.

This makes me want to pull out my Newtonian telescope. The thing is so big and lunky though that I only take it out when I plan to use it for an extended duration. One of these days I'll invest in a Schmidt Cassegrain; I find them far more portable.
Great video as usual :)

WOW!This may sound silly but,Ive always known Jupiter's out there in the solar system,but seeing it in the flesh(or gas i suppose)is amazing.I want a telescope now.

I took mine out the other day. its smaller but i can still see the moons. last night there were 3 on the right and 1 to the far left. however, when i went to a 10mm and even a 4mm i saw a rock real close to jupiter. i couldnt see it when i could see the oter moons, but when i got close to jupiter there it was, about 1:30-2 oclock. im new to this so im not really sure what it is but its really cool.

whats odd though is ... ( 2 months ago by jfl187)

whats odd though is that over the past couple nights the 4 moons were in diffrent places, but this one close is at the same point 1:30-2 oclock. I thought it was something on the lense, but its position is constant even if i move. no matter where i put jupiter in the view, the "moon" is still in the same spot relitive to jupiter. i wrote it off as a moon, but when i run stellarium it only shows 4 moons of jupiter, just as i saw them. whats this extra rock? any ideas? D=60mm F=700mm

Duh!!I mean have never put my eye up to a lens of a telescope and looked at it at night.I get that all the pictures in books and stuff come from a telescope(of course) but I have never looked through a telescope at it.I hardly thought people floated up there with there digital cameras!!!!

i was shocked the day i bot a cheap telescope to look at the moon and pointed it a jupiter first out of curiousity, shocked at actually being able to see it , and then again at being able to see its moons and the spot so well. that night was the beginning of a love affair.
jupiter, the pliades, orion nebula. lots of great stuff to look at.

No, you can see ... ( 3 weeks ago by Pingletons)

No, you can see detail and the ring divisions clearly on Saturn with a telescope like this. You could also resolve Uranus and Neptune to a disk, but you wouldn't really see any detail. If you were lucky, and knew where Pluto was, you might be able to spot it with the help of photography. It would just be a point of light however.
