O/T Jupiter

[vomit]

For those who are science-minded, here is the best pic (yet) that I've taken of Jupiter. You can see the Great Red Spot (looks pink) in the upper right...it's a storm that has been on Jupiter for 175+ years, and is 3x the size of Earth. The details:

Danforth, Michigan.
August 19, 2008.

Thanks,

what is your scope? Cool pic by the way. Recently purchased a scope earlier this year. Have seen saturn (fucking awesome) and mars. Am hoping to get it into a lot more, but the summer here has been truly awful.

How did you get that shot?

Davross666,

As noted in my post I have a Meade LX90 LNT (an 8" Scmidt-Cassegrain); focal length of 2000mm (f/10). The pic was taken with the LPI (lunar & planetary imaging) camera that came with the scope; its focal length is approximately 6mm yielding a "power" of 333x.

I took the picture using the Meade Envisage software that came with the camera. It is approximately a stack of 200 images originally captured in .bmp. I set the quality for 50% and a count of 20.

I hope that is enough info for you.....I know to most of you this will all be gibberish.

So be it, I get one closer to my 666th post!!!uke:

PS....Again, if someone can embed the pic please feel free to do so.

That's cool shit. I always wanted to get a telescope but I know I'd just end up using it for evil purposes.

There you go...

Nice one.

Thank you. Wish I could upload a pic?! But whateva. Hey I see you live in Madison...you going to see Motorhead (I think they are playing there on Septemer 10)...I have a friend going to see them.

One post closer to 666!!!!uke:

One closer to the magic number. Here is tonight's endeavour at scrutinizing Jupiter.....I have 3 of its known 63 moons labeled. If anyone (EMTHIII??) wants to embed this badboy please do so.

Hope you like. SCIENCE RULES....as does Blatz!

I appreciate it. And as this is my 666th post, I want to say: "EVIL to you ALL!" After 6 (nearly 7 years) it sure has been a run.....from post-V8 to Dan Nelson, it has been silly.

Keep watching the skies, and pray for the flaming BALL of DEATH!!!uke:uke:
