My First Ever Jupiter Photos
Well, after about a month of waiting for the right conditions, I was finally able to photograph Jupiter last night. It looked spectacular. Unfortunately, the photos don't really reproduce how splendid it looked. Although, it is still really neat looking. I was able to capture four of the Moons as well in some of the shots. The shots were taken through my Dad's Celestron C8 (8" Refractor) telescope. I then mounted a Nikon D90 with t-ring adapter. For the photos where the image is larger, I used a 3x barlow and for the smaller first image, a 2x barlow. Enjoy.

Thank you Mary Ann. Thanks for stopping by. I saw your blog as well and liked it too.
ReplyDeleteHey those are some great shots of Jupiter, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. Good to have you back on this side of the planet. Anyway, for a first time shooting Jupiter through a scope it wasn't so bad. Was humid though, so images could maybe be sharper. Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying, especially as Cypress Hills. Should be good.
