This picture is captured in the crudest way, by pointing my phone through my eye piece. However, it’s still pretty spectacular. With my eye, I could see the rings of its “surface”. Hope you enjoy!
EDIT: So glad so many enjoyed it! Send pics of your favorite celestial object (PS: while it qualifies, please don’t send pictures of your mom)

Nice

I had a crumb on my screen that made it look like 5 moons, I chuckled to myself a bit :p

Jupiter has 79 moons. Greedy fucker.

Seeing this and Saturn's rings for the first time when I first got my telescope made me all space-giddy.

Hoax, Jupiter is flat!
SupplyinTheFlyin
Does the orbital plane of Jupiter’s moons match up to the orbital plane of the planets going around the sun?
Articate
Yes, and with the rings of the surface. The proto disc of our solar system aligned along one plane, so most stuff is along the same plane
SupplyinTheFlyin
Interesting! Thank you for the response!
toadlick
getting the lens lined up with the eyepiece, not easy, well done.

So, rings of the surface.. It's a gas giant with no visible surface, try bands or color. It is beautiful though Isn't it.
Articate
That’s why I wrote “surface”, and I feel that way of putting it is good for both laypeople and others. Honestly, I could describe the /
Articate
mechanics behind the formation of our planets from the proto disc all the way to theories of the perpetuating red spot. This feels pedantic.
FreshOutOfMercy
That's amazing! I try to do that and you cant see anything
yankinmyD
What kind of telescope did you use?
Articate
It’s a Newton reflector, 150/700 I believe. Sky Watcher EQ2 something something

I see all 4 moons and Jupiter. The last one is a lot dimmer and closer to the center of the photo.

But is Jupiter aligned with Mars while the moon is in the seventh house?
Articate
Not right now, sorry

I always suspected that Europa was like the toy chest for the star-child. And he doesn’t like to share his Legos.

The monolith advanced the pre-existing life there - chlorophyll into more advanced life. 2061 goes into it in-depth

Not part of the original story. The whole threat of war thing was added to make the movie more 'dramatic'.

Look towards the center of the image. Far away from the rest.

I see it, I was just trying to show the spacing via words XD Spaces wouldn't work so I had to use periods.
Articate
I got that about five minutes after I posted the comment :D

@OP good photo. If you can, try to play with your phone's camera settings, a shorter exposure picks up Jupiter's color
Articate
I was trying. I think this was the 8mm and I have a 5mm, and even a Barlow. In addition, the focus was for my eyes and not the camera, so /
Articate
definitely room for improvement! I am even have a camera mount!
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Oh wow you really went all out. Yeah this is one of the rare times where too much light is the problem. But it sounds like you are enjoying
Articate
I locked the AF on my phone, but even the dimmest pictures I took was without detail. I think focus was the biggest problem, looking back.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
That could be it, but change the ISO on your phone. I think around 50-100 for Jupiter and Saturn are good for detail

Where are you Located

I did this exactly with my phone a few nights ago, I thought it was my pic at first :) kinda makes you want to get a telescope camera.
Articate
You can easily get camera mounts for existing cameras, no need for a second camera :)
bhaab70
We don’t have a camera at the moment other than our phones, so I figured go right for the telescope version
Articate
Maybe I should too, thanks for the tip!

Pictures don’t do justice. Seeing it through your own eyes is something I think everyone should experience if they have a chance.

I remember, when I first saw the ring on Saturn with my telecope once. It was really awesome, because I just pointed at the brightest star
chiefuffaker
Totally. Seeing celestial objects for real is an absolutely humbling experience.
thermodaemonics
This. Seeing the little ball of Jupiter just hanging in the sky or the actual rings on Saturn has a punch for me that pictures just don't.

Even seeing the moon through a good telescope is mind blowing. To then reaim it towards Jupiter or Saturn is indescribable.

BRB, going to Jupiter to get less stupider.

Bring me something back. See if they have any "Bort" novelty license plates in the gift shop.

Also seeing Saturn for the first time. The rings and the shadow over them convinces one's ape-brain that it is, indeed, 3-dimensional.
deadtedw
First time I saw Saturn I was like "OMFG, it's fucking real!" Blew me away.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Exactly. “It's a ball with a ring around it.” (well duh, but knowing vs seeing)
