The Jupiter Page
This is an incredibly lucky shot of Jupiter. This was actually taken
through a 30" Newtonian telecope by me in 1996, shortly before the
Shoemaker-Levi Comet impact. The camera used was a regular Sony video camcorder.
Handheld.
Best single frame image from a series, unprocessed.

Telescope: 6" Schupmann at f/45.
The dark specks are dust spots on the camera's glass cover plate enclosing the CCD chip. Mike tells me he must get it out and re-seal the camera real soon now... A fine photo anyway!
