Description

Heres one I took of jupiter in june of 2003, theres a shadow of one of the moons just below the great red spot, but the moon I think it may be just to the left of the edge of jupiter as a fuzzy ball, you can barely see it. I took this one with my 4 vixen using ASA 50 b/w professional high contrast film, a professional photographer filming the event for a newpaper gave me at a recent starparty. Took the 5 shots using a 4.9 nagler, which on my scope is almost maximum power 389x took at -2 sec, -4,1/100,1/250; and 1/500 sec the -2 (approx 2 seconds)is what you see here. On the Canon A-1 camera the speeds go down from 1/1000 to 1/10 then it can fire off the seconds -2,-4,-8,-15,-30, then B which is nice cause you dont have to look at your watch!
