First Jupiter of the Season

Posted Sun, 07/29/2012 - 08:53 by Dave0924

I've been watching and waiting for Jupiter to rise high enough in the morning sky to shoot, and the planet is now there. This shot was taken at 5:38 this morning with the planet at 35 degrees above the horizon.

12.5" F/8 Newtonian; DMK21AU618 camera with Astronomik RGB filters.

Thanks for looking!

Now that's a nice start! It'll be interesting to see if anything has changed since the end of last year's imaging season.

============================================
If 50 years of amateur astronomy and space exploration has taught me anything it is that the Earth is a very special place. It would be nice to protect it like it’s the only Earth we’re ever going to have.
