Live view of Saturn with my 14-inch telescope

Ғылым және технология

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth.It only has one-eighth the average density of Earth; however, with its larger volume, Saturn is over 95 times more massive. Saturn is named after the Roman god of wealth and agriculture. Saturn's interior is most likely composed of a core of iron-nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds). Its core is surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and finally a gaseous outer layer. Saturn has a pale yellow hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere.

    Around 1984 or 1985, I saw Saturn like this through a telescope-spotting scope with a zoom. I'll never forget it! I was so amazed I ran to get my family to come and look at it. All I had was a that telescope with a 20x zoom, mounted on a tripod, and a star atlas. I spent hours outside on many cold winter nights, because it was so clear.

    I think so, Tam! Thanks. I am not really good at taking pictures of planets. I just got lucky on this one. This would have been a much better image if I used the right camera. I just used the biggest camera and got 10 frames per second. Also, I put 4X Barlow on a 14" inch scope. That makes it giant zoom scope. Just thinking aloud. LOL

    Thanks Robert! I think I used IR/UV Cut filter from Baader with ZWO ASI 071 MC camera. That camera is not good for planets at all. But I put a 4X televue zoom that makes Saturn fills the entire APS-C sensor. I got a 5GB file video with 10 FPS.
