Details:
I imaged Jupiter and 2 moons Ganymede on the left and Io on the right when looking at the my image. I have to say it was really nice to see Jupiter today on 08-16-22 from my observatory in Manorville, NY. My imaging setup was a ZWO ASI224 MC camera with a UV/IR cut filter and a ZWO (ADC) 1.25" Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector adapter in a Baader Planetarium Carl Zeiss 2x Barlow Lens all in a MoonLite focuser. My telescope was an Edge HD 14'' OTA on a AP1600GTO mount. The seeing was between a 3/5 to 4/5. This was a mornig I will remember for a very long time. As I was looking at my laptop motitor in live recording mode, It was a reminder to me Earth is hurlling through space on an orbital path at the same time I am imaging another planet hurlling through space on its orbital path. The Great Red Spot is a giant, spinning storm in Jupiter's atmosphere. It is like a hurricane on Earth, but it is much larger. Jupiter's Great Red Spot is more than twice the size of Earth! Winds inside this storm reach speeds of about 270 miles per hour. Nobody knows when the Great Red Spot first appeared on Jupiter, but it has been seen on Jupiter ever since people started looking through telescopes about 400 years ago.
Kind Reargs To ALL 🙂
