Jupiter


Planet Jupiter floating in space on March 8, 2004. A combination of 662 frames taken with a ToUCam Pro webcam through the 254mm SCT. A total exposure time of 44 seconds.

Please note how this exposure is expressed in seconds, while most others of this blog are expressed in minutes or even hours. Jupiter's apparent brightness is extremely high compared to objects outside our solar system. In fact, only the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars can reach a higher apparent brightness.

I clearly improved my technique compared to my first attempt of this planet with this telescope.
