Jupiter

The following images were made using a sony Hi8 handycam through the 32 mm eye piece with a 1500 mm. 10" primary mirror giving a magnification of about 50 times. Both were taken 8/17/96. The final image of each had its contrast and brightness adjusted, had a video filter and an unsharp mask filter applied to improve definition. They were manipulated using Photoshop. South is up. West is to the right. While Parker and Newton will not be at any risk of being dethroned. I do not think they are too bad considering I used a handicam.
