Low in the sky, there was a lot of turbulence in the air and I could only get a sharp focus at around 100x mag.<br /><br />The four jovian sattelites were very sharp and bright, and I could clearly see the brownish banding on the surface of the planet. This is the best I have ever seen Jupiter. This image was taken a few years ago when I had a Meade ETX125 and LPI imager, and is very similar to the visual view in the C90 tonight. I never saw Jupiter this clearly visualy in the ETX.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5178169246886982767-8583915396609725345?l=frogastro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>frogbmthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05463678784816786263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5178169246886982767.post-41435353963697367262008-09-03T07:08:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:37:53.926-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6imTe6nRH0/SL71kHhyVbI/AAAAAAAAAI4/ZGlpEqrsMVo/s1600-h/c90c.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6imTe6nRH0/SL71kHhyVbI/AAAAAAAAAI4/ZGlpEqrsMVo/s320/c90c.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241897017150690738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6imTe6nRH0/SL71kV0OatI/AAAAAAAAAJA/io7mc_AV44g/s1600-h/c90b.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6imTe6nRH0/SL71kV0OatI/AAAAAAAAAJA/io7mc_AV44g/s320/c90b.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241897020986125010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Today I got myself a Celestron C90 scope which I have mounted onto my Acuter Merlin electronic mount.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5178169246886982767-4143535396369736726?l=frogastro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>frogbmthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05463678784816786263noreply@blogger.com0
