This was my second observation ever. Fortunately the sky was very clear by the night from cloudy afternoon. I took the chance and ran out to look at some stars. Instead I decided to look at moon and Jupiter and I was surprised to see how well I could see.
The moon was very clear and beautiful through the telescope.
The pictures are taken with my 8 meg digital camera, so quality is a bit poor.
I was also amazed to see how clear I could see the Jupiter and its moon. I could make out the its cloud but the Jupiter looked bit small. When I took the picture it came out too bright and the clouds on Jupiter can't be seen.
Also I took the vid of Jupiter and its moons moving away from the view of the eye piece. It was pretty fast.
, but takes too long to load for the post so I guess you guys need to see it for your self...
I hope you enjoy the pics.
I used Skywatcher 8" Dobsonian with 10mm eye piece.
Thanks
Tom
