Great video! I have a tripod but I can't get it to seat on Jupiter in high zoom like you seem to. What's your setup? Maybe I need a better pod. does your pod have micro movements?
Nice Video...Good Job...I managed to get it when it was directly overhead but the full moon was really bright and made things really tricky...also the camera was pointing straight up at almost 90 degrees...Its a great camera though...really good fun...
Yeah I was pretty satisfied with this video but my editing software added a bunch of noise now that I compare the original with this uploaded version. It is kind of disappointing. I have to figure out what is going on there. I saw yours.. Good job!
Last night before it was completely dark I could see Jupiter in the east sky (and nothing else), so yes at that time of night it is brighter than Capella. Not sure about later at night, but I suspect it is
I just found a page that says Jupiter is about 3 times as bright as the brightest star now www.astronomy.com/observing/sky-events/2013/12/see-jupiter-at-its-best
It just helps to know to locate it...Jupiter was very bright during December...I suspect it still is...but for some reason I could not locate it on the last clear night here...I can only assume I misjudged its position...
Pretty cool, right? Look into some colored filters for better contrast. start with a blue 80a. also, use the remote app from canon and a laptop to control you camera to reduce the vibrations. Then, you can run you video through freeware like RegiStax to get a cool image.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I am just a point and shoot kind of guy. not a pro by any means. Thought about getting a better tripod but even that is something I probably won't upgrade. I guess my videos show what you can do with the camera right out of the box with default settings.
Wonder if you can set it so Jupiter isn't over exposed, with a tripod when it closer to the earth. A hand held camera should not come anywhere this close! I'm going to try it with mine as soon as I find Saturn, and Jupiter.
Set top dial to "p" mode. press "mf" manual focus on back dial, select MF then set it to infinity . find Jupiter in the sky and zoom to maximum. You may need a tripod or mono pod to be able to hold steady enough. There may be a setting on your camera called "safety MF" that apparently needs to be set to "off". My camera didn't have that setting so I am not positive about that. good luck!
On a tripod you need to constantly track the moon at200x or Jupiter Hey bud there are ways of getting clearer images guaranteed Go to my channel and watch my moon videos, Jupiter footage is in with some moon videos in my channel I'm wondering if I should bother with the new sx60 Cheers The trix on my channel
no idea why canon always make a bader model with bader pictures after a cam like this. actually i found for the cam just two sellers. i mean how often u use the digital zoom.... maybe 10 % , that stop me to buy the 60er. the quality of a picture may not be bader as the model before
I made this pic by shoving my cheap, crummy Net10 prepaid phone cam up to my Meade LX70 R8 eyepiece ( the eyepiece was actually a 15mm ED Wide Angle eyepiece ): puu.sh/o6FHJ/7a27c1160d.jpg I compared it with the skyviewcafe.com model and it was perfect match. The image is inverted ofc because it's a reflector scope and I didn't process the image at all. This is not at all what you'd see if you were looking in the eyepiece. The detail this telescope produces is fantastic. It will easily pick up transit shadows and Jupiter's GRS especially when using a 5mm ED Wide Angle eyepiece. The camera was the cheapest PoS imaginable with no exposure control at all. I'm surprised I got anything from it at all lol
I Tried To Find Jupiter Again Tonight...It was Cold Though And I Ran Out Of Patience...It Should Have Been Easy To See, But I Must Have Misjudged Where It Was Supposed To Be...Just Could Not see It Tonight Which Is A Shame Because The Sky Was Clear...
It is about 6 Pm here now and I just went outside and checked and I can clearly see it in the NE about two fists at arms length above the horizon. I noticed something bright out there last night and pointed the camera at it and it was indeed Jupiter and its moons. Today I decided to try filming the sunspots since there is so much hype about them right now. I put a couple of welding glass shades in front of the lens and did manage to get some footage of the sunspots. I was filming from inside the house so the double glazed windows cause quite a bit of distortion and blurr. I might try again tomorrow. If you try this be very careful be cause last summer I had smoke coming out my camera when I inadvertently pointed the camera towards the sun while at maximum zoom hahaha
