Jupiter Through A Skywatcher 10“ Dobsonian Telescope on 10-30-11

Here’s Jupiter drifting through the field of view at 240x magnification. Since this planet is so bright and tends to produce an overexposed image most of the time, I attached the Moon filter to lessen the intensity and bring out more detail and contrast. Here’s what I used to capture this video: Sky-Watcher 10“ Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope Basic specs are: • 10“ (254 mm) Dobsonian-style Newtonian • 1200 mm focal length (f/) • 2“ Crayford-style focuser with “ adaptor • 8x50 right angle viewfinder • Solid rocker-mount with Teflon bearings and tension clutch • Collapsible tube design for easy storage and transportation Accessories: • Celestron Telescope Camera Adapter • Moon Filter • 10mm “ eyepiece • 2x Barlow Lens Camera: • Canon Powershot SD600 6 megapixel camera at 3x optical zoom ========================================================= This YouTube channel is an extension of my Facebook page “Astrophotography With A 10“ Dobsonian Telescope“, which is primarily filled with still images of Planets and the Moon.
