Jupiter
Every year, Jupiter is a must-see for any amateur astronomical photographer. This year, the gas giant is not at a good altitude; in fact, it is far from the zenith. However, these nights have not been bad for capturing one of the emblems of the Solar System, even with a small 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain. On the left, the capture corresponds to the 28th and on the right to the 30th of December (universal time; in local time it is the 27th and 29th). You can see interesting details such as the areas that mark the divisions between bands, the large red spot (sorry, my images are taken with a monochrome camera) in the frame on the right, a few areas of turbulence and the centers of some minor eddies.
If you have the chance to put your eye to a telescope and look at the largest planet in our neighborhood, don't miss that moment. The view together with its four Galilean moons will leave you breathless. It is an experience difficult to forget.
Capture data:
Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope "Explore Scientific" 127 mm, f/15. Player One Neptune-M camera, Player One UV-IR cut filter. Zona rural, Concordia, Entre Ríos, Argentina.
