Saturn through a Telescope



Uploaded by: cplwkong
Video Description:
Every wonder what Saturn looks like through a large amateur telescope? Well here it is, taken with a TouCam webcam, 3x barlow through a Celestron C9.25".
The shimmering in the image is due to atmospheric turbulence. To keep the planet centered at very high magnification, an equatorial mount was used with accurate polar alignment.

hi, does anyone know what kind of telescope i need to buy to see things like saturn , (and its rings) and other planets, what make and size lens i need, forgive my lack of ways to describe telescopes , but i am new to all this , lol

A friend sold me his used Clestron 4500 reflective I think it is 4.4 inches of aperture and 910 mm of focal lenght.
Also it has 1.25 eyepiece instead of the .965 in the cheap chinese refractive. The only problem now is that in Brazil saturn is rising and faling during daytime ;-( So I guess I will need to wait untill march-2009 to see saturn (and by them the rings won't show well either)

how much did a telescope like that cost you in dollars?
Scope was about ... ( 2 months ago by cplwkong)
Scope was about $1500, Mount and tripod was about $8000.
You see, the mount is more important than the scope for astrophotography and astro-webcamming. For visual work, a good steady mount would do.
No that's what it ... ( 2 months ago by pseudonym313)
No that's what it really looks like. I look at it with my telescope all the time. The first time I saw it I thought it looked cartoon-ish but that's just what it looks like. It's amazing.

Yes, I used a scope with a long focal length and also a 3x barlow, so it is really up close. But at this magnification, you really need a stable mount to track the planet.
Your barlow is ... ( 1 month ago by gashvador)
Your barlow is certainly a good barlow. And a Celestron C9 is already a very good telescope. The result is extraordinary :-)

wow, i never though that Saturn was so clear before seeing this! I thought since Saturn was made of gas that it would be terribly difficult to see but it isn't!

Hard to believe there is man made machine on one of Saturns moons also a probe "cassini" orbiting Saturn and it's moons! Amazing!! Maybe in a few hundred years scientist would of figured out how to travel to the planets within a few days or weeks..rather years and years!
