does the telescope track the planet itself, or we need some other tool to do this work?

Where can I buy a Chromacor for my achromatic refractor?

Is this how Jupiter would through the ***** eye using a 150mm telescope?

what is a refractor?

This is very nice for a 150mm lens if you ask me!
Cant wait till i can get my telescope, i saw a 150/750 GSO scope on a Celestron ADM mount. I will mostly just use it to see planets because thats where my interrests lay. Great vid!

Hi there!
Personally i think you´ll be better with a newtonian on the 150 / 200 mm range, the 150mm f/8 Orion or Sky Watcher version is an excelent choice for planetary observation, the optical quality is near excelent,and 150 mm aperture will show you a great dealof detail on the planets,you your thinking is deep sky then go for at least 200mm;)

Cheers,

Hey, i want to buy my first telescope and i was thinking of this one: SkyView Pro 120mm EQ Refractor. It has 120mm lens and 1000mm focal length f/8.3. Is this a good telescope or would you recommend a reflector or something else?

@climatehurt
Hi there!
I also have a 200/1200 newtonian and it’s a great all round scope, in nights of good seeing it delivers very good images of Jupiter, it shows more thatn you can see here in teh video, nothing like the human eye to see fine detail

Cheers,

Luís Campos

Wow. That’s amazing.
I’ll buy a Newton 200/1200 but I really don’t know what I’ll be able to see with that kind of telescope. Then I’ve a question: does this video exactly reflect what we can see through the oculars of your telescope, or does using a cam make the image better?
Thanks for answering =)

This is soooo awesome! I love it! I got the chance to see 3 of jupiter’s moons!!! well they were tiny, but it was cool! did you make your telescope? If you bought it, what kind do you have?

NIce work, Gotta love Jupiter!

@markuslebt It’s because a refractor has much less false coloring and more sharpness.

Hot damn, that is fly!!!

will i see this with a 90mm skywatcher refractor?

pdidi1 outstanding film of the Jovian giant! I would say it is better than 99.99% better than all the vids I have seen with 10″ telescopes.
