New Jupiter photo


I used 2 photos to make this. Since the moons of Jupiter are fainter than Jupiter itself, it is impossible to capture the bands of Jupiter along with the moons. So I took 2 photos one with the contrast turned way down to capture Jupiter in all her glory and another with the contrast turned up to capture the moons. If you look close you can see 5 moons.

New website

I have put together a new website just to try to help out newbee telescope users. My plan is to add things that I figure out to it to show others that have recently purchased Meade ETX 70 telescopes some of the pitfalls you can fall into. I'm also including photos of some of the add-ons I have made on my own along with pictures I have taken with my telescope.
