Default Re: The Upcoming Celestial Events thread



I was just out there a minute ago, and i got Jupiter and all its moons in the eyepiece!!!
lol, first time ive gotten that!!
woot!!

I could see the bands, the storm (red spot) and all its Moons... man.. soo very cool! . lol
I watched it for over an hour, until it got to light out and it was drowned out.

I got some pics to, they are on the cam, ill se ehow they came out before i go showin em. lol

I just pulled this out of my stellarium... (the stars look extra big due to shining, in the program i guess, thr the scope they were alot finer and smaller than Jupiter. lol)

and made it the same size as i saw it thru the scope, with the 9mm eyepiece.. just for kicks, really.

But this is what ive been staring at..
making contact, in a sense.. lol

Edit: dang... does anyone else find it kind of annoying that we can only upload one pic per post? ive never personally seen that on any other forum.... its always at least 3.. and most of em like 10.. so we gotta make seperate posts in order for seperate pics... .. and they are also resized wicked small when uploaded thru the post. lol

ok, sorry for that.. just had to get it out.
