Jupiter through 80mm
O.K . this is not up to league of some of the other fantastic Jupiter shots posted so far , but considering Jupiter was only 20degs up in the sky glow of Brisbane and it was taken through my new little 80mm f7.5 ED refractor , I am pretty happy so far.
Wanted to get some at over head but the clouds rolled in around 1.00am , bugger.
The scopes prime purpose was to be a wide field lens piggy backed on my Newt and a Grab and Go scope but it's views of the planets are impressive. I just have to master the ToUcam and processing now.
I really pushed the limits of an 80mm scope and used my 4X TV Power Mate giving 2400mm focal length.
The visual views with the PM and 12.5 mm Orthoscopic were crisp and clear at.
Can't wait to get my Newt up and running again and give it a try on the gas giants and Mars latter on in the year.
